The application of redemption

Having seen the vileness of sinful words; Now let us §2proceed to consider of our THOUGHTS, the first stirrings of the distempers of our hearts that suddenly and presently vanish away, men imagine there cannot be such evil in them, nor are they to charge themselves so deeply for them as Ministers would bear them in hand. No man say they can see or know the thoughts of our hearts, & therefore they cannot be offensive or scandalous to any and therefore its not possible they should be discouraged from doing any good they desire or intend, or provoked to the practice of any evil that may be dangerous to themselves or dishonourable to the Lord. besides they appear not so soon to our apprehensions but they pass away in an instant, and are as though they had never been, and what great evil is in the, and why should the soul be so deeply […] with them and the sinner be forced to feel so great sorrow for them? this is to make them worse than they are, and our selves more miserable than we should be.
