It teacheth us what to do when we have serious thoughts of appearing before God: For the case in hand is about those that were affrighted and disquieted with Divine Visions, which was occasioned by natural frailty, and partly by a sense of sin. Now all of us must shortly come into Gods presence, but who can dwell with devouring burnings? If your thoughts be serious, you will find that it is no slight thing, to appear before God, who is our Creator and our Judge, and who is an holy and glorious God, to whom we have carried it very unthankfully, and undutifully. Now who can relieve you in these perplexed thoughts, but the Lord Jesus Christ: get a word from him that your Iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged; Isa. 6. 7. and wait on him, till he settleth your souls in the peace and hope of the Gospel, Isa. 57. 14. and then you are relieved in your Agonies of ⟨p. 206⟩Conscience; stand up, be not afraid, the Gospel is a Sovereign Plaster, but his hand must make it stick.
