1. He knocks by the particular convictions of of the Word upon the Conscience; this knock by conviction rings and sounds through all the rooms and chambers of the Soul; particular and effectual conviction wounds to the very centre of the Soul. Ah, when the Word shall come whom by the Spirits particular application, like ⟨p. 143⟩that of Nathans to David, Thou art the Man; then all the powers of the Soul are roused and alarmed; now it pierces as a two-edged Sword, Heb. 4. 12. divides the Soul and Spirit, the superior and inferior Faculties of it: Cuts down by the back-bone, lays open the secret guilt, and innermost thoughts of a Man's Heart, before which the sinner cannot stand. The secrets of his Heart are made manifest and falling down on his Face, he must acknowledge that God is in the Word, of a Truth, 1 Cor. 14. 24. O these convictions of the Word, are such a rap, such a knock at the door of the Conscience as will never be forgotten; no not in Heaven, to all Eternity.
