The application of redemption

Talk not, trouble not me with dispute what my sin and my condition is, but Oh, help me out of it, if it may be. And it's certain, if thy soul abide here, it will sink under unsupportable sorrow, and soak it self in it, for this will take away the sight and sweetness of any thing that may refresh and support the wounded soul, because he will see his sins in the bitterness and venom of them, where ever he is, and what ever he doth, and as that which poisons all the best of the comforts of this life. He sees his sin in his prosperity, which is but ⟨p. 185⟩the fating of him for the slaughter. He sees his sin in his honour, he is advanced the higher that his downfall may be the more miserable. God fills his belly with his hid Treasures of this world, that he may treasure up wrath against the day of wrath.

Thus our iniquities are said to lay hold of a man, Psal. 40. 12. When we are under the Sentence which the Word passeth upon our sin, we are then under the reach of our sins, and they then lay hold of us, and that will cave that we shall not be able to lookup.
