- 1Consolatory Rules.
- 26. Rules.
First, Take this Rule for to comfort thee; if the power of thy sin do not prevail over thee, thou mayest be sure the guilt of thy sin shall never damn thee; why then think if sin hath not a domineering power in the filth of, it shall never have a damning power in the guilt of it. O thou mortified Christian, it may be thou art troubled at what thou hast do•e when thou wast a child; but hast thou mortified those sins? then my soul for thine those sins thou hast destroyed shall never damn thee: it may be thou art troubled about the guilt when thou hast destroyed the power. O lift up thy head the guilt shall never damn thee when the power doth not prevail over thee.
