29 The Jews under the Old Testament justified, might be troubled in soul for sin as we, they and we justified by the same grace. 29 Trouble for sin is, and ought to be in those, who are delivered from obligation to eternal wrath. 30.31 No Law-wakening in us by nature. 32 How the Saints need joy after sin, rather then after affliction. 33 Sin is pardoned otherwise then in removal of obligation to eternal wrath. 34 The double dealing of Antinomian Preachers in confession of sins, in public, their confession being only in regard of unbelievers mixed with believers. 34 A two fold pardon of sin. 1. A relaxation from eternal. 2. From temporal wrath. 35 Sin is sometimes put for temporary punishment, and to remove temporary punishment is to pardon sin in Scripture-sense. 36 ⟨image 10⟩Soul-troubles in devils and men must be extreme. 38 Conscience the sorest enemy. 38 The terrors of an evil conscience. 38 Difference between the soul-torment of the damned, and the Saints, in 3. points. 39 God punisheth sometimes the sins of his children with spiritual punishments. 40 Christs soul-trouble different from ours. 43 The causes of soul desertions. 43.44.45 Soul desertions sharpened with sense 44 Desertions after evident and full manifestations of God. 44.45 Desertion under a three-fold consideration. 46 Patience requisite under soul-trouble. 46 We are not so freed from sin, being justified, but there is a ground of distance between the Lord and us. 46.47 Mis-judging thoughts of Christ in us by nature. 47 Sin not ever the cause of desertion. 47.48 External heavy judgements, and soul-desertions not Pedagogical, but common to the Saints under the N. Test. 48.49 Active desertion is not our sin, but the Lords trying of us. 49 Desertions more proper to the Saints, then to the unregenerate. 49 Christs desertion of another nature then ours. 49 Desertion not melancholy. 50 The various dispensation of God in leading souls to heaven. 51 Divers causes of desertion. 51 Continuated manifestations of Christ necessary. 51.52 Divers reasons why we are not to quarrel with Divine dispensation in desertion. 52 Gods manifestations his own, and most free. 52 Submission and charity required to Gods dispensations. 52 Apprehensions biggest and most terrible in desertion, because of the darkness of the mind.
