So when souls are under a work of conviction, it is a critical time with them; many a one have I known then to miscarry, and never recovered again; they have indeed for a time stood like dead grafts in the stock, by an external dead hearted profession, but never came to any thing; and as such dead grafts, either fall off from the stock, or moulder away upon it, so do these, 1 John 2. 19.
