2. Sin is the second burden of our lives, and much the greatest; §. 6 Unto this, is this Consolation peculiarly suited: So Heb. 6. 17, 18. an Allusion is taken from the man slayer under the Low, who having killed a man at unawares, and brought the guilt of his blood upon him self, fled with speed for his deliverance to the City of refuge: our great and only refuge from the guilt of sin, is the Lord Jesus Christ in our flying to him, doth the spirit administer consolation to us. A sense of sin fills the heart with troubles and disquietness; it is the Holy Ghost, which gives us peace in Christ. That gives an apprehension of wrath, the Holy Ghost sheds abroad the Love of God in our hearts. From thence doth Satan, and the Low accuse us, as objects of Gods hatred, the spirit bears witness with our spirits, that we are the Children of God. There is not any one engine ⟨p. 304⟩or instrument, that sin useth, or sets up against our peace, but one effect or other of the Holy Ghost towards us, is suited and fitted to the casting of it down.
