The application of redemption

In regard of a mans weakness, the well is deep and §1thou hast nothing to draw withal, the work of application is spiritual and mystical, the eye is dim and thy understanding shallow, not able to search into such mysteries, thou canst not discern neither the way, nor the work, how wilt thou be ever able then to attain it? remember thou canst not make thy self able, but thou must be made able to know it and to receive it, its in his hand, and its his work who is able to do it, Jer. 24. 7. I will give them a heart to know me, hither our Saviour resolves this work and rests himself here Mat. 11. 25. I thank thee Father Lord of Heaven and Earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise of the world and revealed them unto Babes even so Father, for so it pleaseth thee. And it's Gods promise, Isay, 42. 16. The hlind shall see and the deaf shall hear. It's his ordinary proceeding, He calleth the foolish and things that are not, to bring to nought things that are. 1 Cor. 1. 28. Therefore thou shouldest press God with his own promises, mind him that this is his prerogative, say, Lord it is not in man to ¹direct […], to humble himself, to convert himself, but it is with thee, and its thy promise to give me a heart to know thee, thou callest things that are not, ²I am not wise nor humble nor holy, I am not able to know thee let me be known of thee that so I may come to the knowledge of thee.
