1. Were you ever brought to the Foot of Christ? Did you ever see your lost Condition in the first Adam, and that there is no other way to be Saved, but by the Lord Jesus?
2. Are you at the lowest part of the Ladder, and there rest; or are you got up towards the top thereof? There is no resting, no stay to be made when you first ascend, or first believe in Christ, or on any attainment of Grace, but you must mount up, or ascend up higher, ⟨p. 28⟩from Faith to Faith;1 have you stepped up on the Round of Obedience? have you took Christ's yoke upon you? [this seems too hard a step for some to take:] are you got above the Earth in your Affections? doth the Earth, and the things thereof, grow less and less every day in your sight? as in a natural respect it doth to him that soars very high, or climbs upon a Ladder, to the very Clouds. Are you willing to leave Earth, to leave this World, to go to Heaven?
