(1.) When we begin to decline, and grow more remiss and indifferent in the practice of Godliness. If Grace be weak, you must get it strengthened. When you grow bolder in Sin, and more strange to God and Jesus Christ, and have little converse with him in the Spirit; Oh! it is time to be instant and earne•• with God, that he would recover you: Though you have embezzled your Strength, yet you have to do with • Merciful God; go to him for Help. Psal. 17.5. Hold up my •oings in thy Path, that my foot-steps s•ip not. You have forfeited the more plentiful aids o• Grace; but beg h•m not to forsake you utterly. You must confess the Sin, but God must remedy the •vil.
