Oh all you that desire assurance, take heed of Unkindnesses, take heed of small sins, appearances of sin, take heed of neglecting your communion with God in holy duties; take heed of bitterness, wrath, anger; be ye kind one towards another, 1tender hearted, &c. (for so it exegetically followeth the Text) q. d. by all these the Spirit is grieved. It is a tender thing, and you may quickly grieve it: and if you grieve your Comforter, who shall comfort you? And if you grieve the holy Spirit, who shall sanctify you? And if you grieve the sealing Spirit, who shall seal you to the day of redemption? Never look for assurance as long as you are not afraid of grieving the Spirit, which is the earnest of the inheritance. Carnal mens question is, May I do this and not be damned? But a godly mans question is, Can I do this and not grieve the Spirit of God? Will not Jesus Christ take this unkindly?
