Lastly, When a man shall be so disquieted under the guilt of sin, that he shall be utterly discouraged from venturing to lay hold on Jesus Christ; when they say doubtingly, what the enemies say scoffingly, where is no help for him in God; ⟨p. 195⟩when the kind or degree of trouble of mind is so much, that it shall impugn the end of it, it is then excessive; What is the end of trouble of mind for sin? the end is, to embitter sin, and to provoke a soul to look out after Jesus Christ: And thus I have given you but the heads of this particular.
