A sight of the Gallows, of the Axe, raiseth in the condemned mans heart, high thoughts of the Grace of a Pardoning Prince; to be a Tenant of Free-Grace is so sweet a free-holding that it must put a high Rate on Free Grace. 4. The Clay-organs and faculties of the soul working by them,1 cannot bear the too great violence of Legal terrors; for in reviving the Spirit, Isa. 57.16. If he should let out all his wrath, the souls should fail that he has made: Nor can they bear that God let out all his strength of ⟨p. 154⟩love in one moment; rough or violent dealing should break Crystal Glasses: Christ should break the needle, when he soweth a heart to himself, if he should put to all his strength; too swift motion of wheels may break the Mill; Christ must drive softly for a sight of the fourth part of the fire of Hell, and a sight of one chamber or one window of heaven is enough at once.
