Sorrow for sin rightly set on, pierceth the heart of the sinner through, that is rightly affected therewith. | 358
For Explication, four Things: | 362
1 The Manner how Sorrow for […] […] on the soul. | 363
1 Either successively, or by degrees in some | ibid.
1 The evil and danger of his sin, is […] in the general | ibid.
2 He is surprised and pursued with fear | 364
3 The Curses and Punishments of sin are fastened upon him | 366
4 He is made to feel the evil of sin […] sin, and that as his greatest evil | 368
2 Or suddenly and throughly […] once in some others | 372
⟨image 575⟩3 Or secretly and insensibly in others. | 374
1 Some are Sanctified in the Womb, | 375
2 Some wrought upon in Child-hood | ibid.
3 Some under good Education, Counsels, Means, are gradually, yet really wrought upon. | ibid.
Cautions here. |
1 Though the manner and measure of Contrition differ in most, yet the substance of the Work is the same in all. | ibid.
2 Though some may not know the time, yet every one should, and if gracious, can give evidence of the Work wrought | 360
3 It's a safe way often to review, and to act over the first workings of Contrition. | 377
For |
1 A wound here is never recovered | 378
2 Clear this, and clear all. | ibid.
2 How this Sorrow comes to be set on, and the soul made to feel sin its greatest evil | 379
1 Sin is cross to the Nature of the soul as such. | 380
2 If the evil of sin be discovered to the Nature of the soul, it may be made sensible thereof. | 382
3 While the soul is fully and only possessed with sin, it cannot feel the evil of it. | ibid.
4 The Spirit countermands the Authority of sin. | 383
5 Christ by the virtue of his death, puts an end to the Commission of sin. | 384
3 How far the soul is active in Contrition. | 385
1 There is no power in man to remove the resistance of his heart against God and Grace. | 385
2 The Lord must put a Spiritual power into the will before it can put forth an act for removing this resistance. | 386
3 The influence of this spiritual power, is not by a gracious habit, but by the motion of the spirit ⟨image 576⟩upon the soul | 388
4 In removing this resistance, the will is a mere Patient. | […]
5 This resistance being removed, the will consents to a divorce between it self and sin | 393
4 The behaviour of the heart under this work | 396
1 The contrite sinner hath the loath somness of fin ever in sight | ibid.
