First, When thou art excessively troubled under the guilt 1of sin take this Rule, what troubled thoughts thou hast about the guilt of sin, spend them upon the power of sin within thee; this is a holy diversion, to be always conversant about the power of sin; it is an evangelical and a gracious temper; if Christians were more troubled about the power of sin, they would be less troubled about the guilt of sin; the Devil doth not care if Professors of Religion be terrified Christians, so they be not mortified Christians.
