If Conscience, assisted with Scripture light, say no, this is a lost estate, this is a damnable condition I am now in, oh poor wretch! how highly doth it concern thee this very hour to look about thee? for thou knowest not how near thou art to the last point and period of thine appointed time. 1It is a vain thing for thee to comfort thy self without some Scripture grounds of interest in Christ, who is the resurrection and the life. Paul sends Tychichus to comfort the Colossians, but he must know their state first, Colos. 4.8. That he may know their state, and comfort their heart.
- 1Vide Morning Exercise Giles in the Fields, 1659.
We have a generation that comfort others, without knowing their spiritual estate; which is to clap on a plaster without searching the wound; a way to lead men to hell hoodwinked; the spiritual estate must be known before comfort can be well applied. Examine therefore, and suffer others to examine and search how it is with your souls in relation to Christ and Grace, what knowledge, what repentance, what faith, what mortification, what contempt of the world, what love to Christ, what thoughts of the world to come?
