The application of redemption

The […] of a gracious heart is, Never to take up his stand till he come to God and the guidance of his Grace and Spirit, Hosea, 14. 2, 3. &c. Take away all iniquity and receive us graciously, ⟨p. 343⟩what have I to do any more with Idols? &c. and the heart will never more have to do with these sins, but with God; he sees these evils, sorrows for these, […] to have these removed that he may be under the power of God and his Grace; As Samuel said to Israel, 1 Sam. 7. 3, 4. If you do return unto the Lord with all your hearts, then put away your gods, and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve him only: So if you be indeed resolved to forsake your sins, and renounce your corruptions, then abandon them, and all occasions leading to them, and all beginnings of them, and submit your selves, your thoughts and affections to the Lord, and to his Word, and serve him only: Lodge thy soul here, and let it never take up its stand until it come hither.
