REFLECTIONS.
Base unbelieving heart!1 how have I flinched and shrunk §1from truth when it hath been in danger? I have rather chosen to leave it, than my life, liberty or estate, as a prey to the enemy. I have left truth, and just it is, that the God of truth▪ should leave me. Cowardly soul, that durst not make a stand for truth! yea, rather bold and daring soul, ⟨p. 224⟩that wouldst rather venture to look a wrathful God, than an angry man in the face.
