4. It is their duty also never to trust to their own heart, but in God, and expect direction, protection, and guidance from him, and I resolve in Gods strength always to be and continue in his way, and to believe no difficulty too hard for him, but his wisdom can find out a way, and when we cannot, his power can bring it to pass, and his faithfulness will do it, and I will never trust mine own heart more but wait on God, trust in him, and expect all from him, and hang upon him by faith and prayer. I kept another fast by my self, my God did help me in some measure: I desire to lay all my sacrifices on Christ, that precious altar, that I may be accepted, and answered. I kept another fast by my self for one of my children, God carried me through the ⟨p. 35⟩duty with some sweet meltings and incomes, I desire to wait on him for an answer, and to live my prayers, and still to trust in him, and do duties in faith and obedience. I kept another fast by my self about my children, desiring to do all in Christs strength, and to expect all upon his account, and God did give me very precious answers. I kept another fast by my self to be humbled for my own and others sins, as my children's, my Fathers house, and Sir Walters, and the sins of the times, and to seek blessings and sanctifications of Gods dispensations, and directions from the Lord, and desire to wait. I kept another fast by my self, for my children and other things, God did humble me in some measure, and assist me, And God did wonderfully and speedily answer. O bless the God that heareth prayers, and follow God for further ⟨p. 36⟩mercy. I kept another fast by self, about one of my children, and God gave me some sweet assistance in the duty, and acceptance in Christ. This Sacrament I received Christ and had sweet fruits from him. This Sacrament God did help me to go against some difficulties, and my special errand to Christ was to deliver me from vain roving thoughts, and to fill my heart daily with heavenly meditations, and that I may still breath forth sweet ejaculations, God gave me Christ and I desire to believe and wait. This Sacrament, I received Christ by faith, and desire to live on him, but my errand was for a broken heart, and sense of sin aright, and I had sweet meltings.
