And verily, Christians, as all the Cordials in Scripture are no Cordials, until they are applied to the Conscience ⟨p. 165⟩by a powerful hand, and breathed into the soul, by the warm vital animation of the Spirit of God to know it; your selves are Physicians of no value, in this great work of comforting one another, until ye learn to join the words of prayer with the words of comfort; until by prayer you call in the presence and power of the Comforter, who only is able to make these words to be so many real consolations. Amen.
