The application of redemption

Now this is the under and weak condition of brokenhearted sinners they are out of their ken and compass, the ways of God in that so sad and spiritual a Work and Trade with the soul, they do not know, and therefore are unfit to seek, and so in reason unable to find it out; and therefore it's easy for them to be led into Samaria instead of Dothan, and the Devil by his Factors ⟨p. 581⟩to lead them into false ways, for which they are commonly hardly recovered; if they grow false at this […] of their life, he may there be lodged to his dying day; for this is like the fall in a mans Cradle, may be, never get fully recovered again: And upon this ground it is that false Teachers when they make a trade to wind into mens affections, and win them to the entertainment of their erroneous conceits: If they would spread their erroneous Opinions which go under pretence of Free Grace, and painted with the appearance of holiness and exactness, they hearken out where any be in […] of spirit, in trouble and distress of Conscience, they fall in with them immediately, and work them to their own minds and wills; […] they are tender hearted, and fearful to refuse whatever comes under […] colour of Free Grace, they are now at a stagger and unsettlement, ignorant how to help themselves, and therefore likely and ready to receive what help can be lent; they know not what way to take, and therefore may be led any way upon the sudden, and at a present push.
