Helps are Three.
The First Help. Make sure of our interest in Christ. And maintain it. I go to your God, and my God, your Father and my Father. Joh. 20.17. No man will leave the poorest cottage, the meanest provision, where he is, for the uncertain Hopes of a palace, when he knows not whether ever he shall enjoy it. Ye know the place and the way. Joh. 14. And therefore they desire not to stir. He that knows he hath a Father to go to, he goes freely.

The Second Help. See the daily use and need of a Saviour, and that will maintain a daily desire; as men of an useful, helpful companion. Him we must needs have, sales one, I pray you call him: him we cannot want, I pray you entreat him. We can do nothing without him, by any means prevail with him. So they say.
