The application of redemption

Make and keep the evil of sin really present in thine ¹apprehension; and that's the last way to see the vileness of it, and find the venom of it in its greatest efficacy. It was the Observation of the Natural Philosophers, and Experience and Reason gives in approbation of the course; the nearer we bring an Object of evil to our view, the more it affects and stirs the heart of him that beholds, when they would terrify a Malefactor, and wrest out a confession of Truth, they […] the gibbets and instruments of Death that be prepared, set him upon the Rack, make him ascend the Ladder, that the nearness of the evil now approaching may strike terror, ⟨p. 187⟩and fasten fear and dread upon his Soul; deal thou so with thine own heart for thy spiritual good. See the evil of sin in the execution of it upon others, and set them before thine eyes, and act it also upon thy self by a through consideration of thine own course.
