Secondly, Open your hearts to Christ, when he knocks at the Door of your Souls, and calls you to come to him, to receive him, and let him come into your hearts, and dwell in your hearts by his holy Spirit, and sanctifying Grace, Rev. 3.20. Behold I stand at the Door and knock, if any man hear my voice, and will open the Door, [Greek or Hebrew], I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. If the Sinner be willing to open the door of his heart, Christ will come in by his holy Spirit, and HE ⟨p. 36⟩will communicate of his Grace to his Soul.

Thirdly, Let the LORD Jesus Christ have the Throne, and be exalted above ALL in your Souls, Isa. 2.17. And the LORD alone shall be exalted in that Day. Let your own Imaginations be cast down, and every high thing that exalteth it Self against the knowledge of God, that every Thought may be brought into Captivity to the Obedience of Christ. Be willing to resign your whole Man, Spirit, Soul and Body, unto the Government of Christ, as LORD and King, to Reign and Rule, Guide and Govern you by his holy Spirit, and Written Word.
