1. Art thou sensible of thy natural Bondage, so as to grieve under it? As the Apostle, Rom. 7.23, 24. I see another Law in my Members, warring against the Law of my Mind, and bringing me into Captivity to the Law of Sin, which is in my Members. O wretched Man that I am, who shall deliver me from the Body of this Death▪ ⟨p. 170⟩If it be not thus with thee, Redemption by Christ will never be precious; there is sighing and weariness, they lay their sad Estate to Heart, as the Church hung their Harps upon the Willows; it is the Grief of their Souls, that their Lusts held them in Captivity. The Children of God complain more of the Relics of Sin, than wicked Men do of the full Power of it.
