Thirdly, Labour to go out of your selves to Christ for grace and peace: Surely in the Lord, shall one say, I have righteousness and strength; I, there it is to be found. Labour for a thirsty frame of soul, for the promises run far to such, That he will fill the hungry with good things: go to Christ, soul, beg, pray, never leave God till he hath given thee an interest in Christ, for none can come to me, except the Father draw him: there is no pardon for the least sin out of Christ, but there is pardon for the greatest sin in Christ; one sin can damn the soul out of Christ, but no sin can hurt the soul in Christ.

Fourthly, To such as have grace, but no sense of peace, this is the counsel I would leave with all such, Be much in the exercise of grace: frame much, believe much, use grace much, for the exercise and improving of grace will produce peace. There are ten duties which are to be the sphere of grace in activity, and in performing of them we shall have peace:
