Hence it is that he now turns himself to others and upon the Experience of the discovery that he had made of forgiveness in God, and the Establishment and consolation he found in waiting on him, he calls upon, and encourageth others to the same duty, v. 7, 8.

The Propositions laid down, I shall briefly pass through; still with respect unto the State and Condition of the Soul, represented in the Psalm. Many things that might justly be insisted on in the improvement of these Truths, have been anticipated in our former General Rules. To them we must therefore sometimes have recourse; because they must not be again ⟨p. 364⟩repeated. On this account I say, we shall pass through them with all briefness possible; yet so as not wholly to omit any directions that are here tendered unto us, as to the guidance of the soul, whose condition and the working of whose faith is here described. This therefore in the first place is proposed.
