The application of redemption

The Spirit of the Lord lets in some powerful light §1[…] the Truth into the Soul when he is passing on in […] ways of destruction, and tells him, This is not […] right way to Life and Salvation; you must go […] way if ever you go to heaven: The poor ⟨p. 356⟩deluded, blinded Creature never dreaming of […] such matter, so that he drives the soul to […] thoughts: If this be the strait way to happiness, […] have been out of the way all my life time; If this […] true, my Condition is miserable. Isa. 65. 1. I […] sought of them that asked not for me, I am found […] those that sought me not: Thus the shepherd pursues the wildering sheep, If he had not found it, it […] never found home: How many give in Evidence […] of their own Experience in this kind: I never doubted of my estate, nor ever […] of any necessity to be other, or do other; I went as others did, it may be for fashion sake, either company carried me, or custom prevailed with me; or may be the novelty of the thing enticed me to go, I as little thought of my death, as ever to have my sin and shame discovered: Job 36. 9. When the Lord gets man into fetters, then he shows them their transgressions, and how they have exceeded.
