Use. 2 Thus much for the first sort of people, those that are plunged into a spiritual delusion, we come now to the second sort of people, those that are doubting, and perplexed souls, that say they have not an ⟨p. 47⟩interest in Christ when they have; those which say they are without Christ, when indeed they are not, as there are many such people in the world: now to such as these I have two or three words of consolation. §11. Let me speak this for your comfort, it is a very ordinary thing with the people of God, to pass very hard and uncharitable sentences upon their own souls, and to run upon very sad mistakes in reference to their own salvation. A child of God he sees so many lusts in his own heart, and so many sins within him, that he can scarce have a charitable thought of his own soul, as David when he said, The Lord had forsaken him, and cast him off for ever: godly men are very apt to pass very harsh censures upon their own souls.
