The times or seasons, or the cases wherein the Believer may and ought, in a special manner to make use of his liberty and boldness, in drawing near with full assurance of faith: There is no question, but a Believer who hath made use of Christ for pardon of sin, and Justification, may also, and should make use of him and his blood for the sprinkling his Conscience, that he may come to God with boldness and confidence, and there is no case wherein a Believer may not aim at this; but more especially he should, in these cases; As first, when he is fallen into more gross guilt, as David was, psal. 51. 2ly.
