20. Rise speedily after every fall by sound repentance, and a fresh recourse to the Blood of Christ, Covenant of Grace, and his intercession. Lye not secure in any sin, into which thou art lapsed, take heed of delaying and trifling, when thy particular repentance should be exercised. Renew thy Covenant, & after thy rising deal faithfully with thy self and God, favour not thy sin, nor flesh, go to the quick, leave no corruption at the bottom: If called to make restitution, to shame thy self before men by confession, stick not at it: take the plainest course, that is the way of God: And let not any thought of shame, dishonour, or loss hinder it: for the more it costs thee to rise from sin, the likelier it is thou art sound in thy Conversion, and the more comfort thou wilt have, otherwise the fears and pains of thy disease will be upon thee, when the thorough cure would have prevented it: quarrel not at any mans reproof, though they miscarry in it, have mentioned thy faults with passion, &c. take that which is good and be thankful. And after every fall sit not down in perpetual distress, but as Christ takes the honour of thy cure, take thou the comfort of thy cure when recovered. See thou art truly risen by repentance, and returned to him whom thou hast dishonoured.— Thy care must be to see thou be sincere in thy-return, and then walk comfortably. See that Satan make not thee walk so as to rob thee of thy comfort, and God of his honour.
