2. In case of the sinful condition; Whiles we look on it, and deny Faith its matter also to work upon, we shall be full of doubtings. Let a man look only 1upon his sins, upon the nature of them, the aggravations of them, what will come of it? 1. Strong humiliations, and those are good. 2. Doubtings and despairs, and those are bad. The single considerations of sin, are the matter only of our fear; they are a grievous burden: David was not able 2to stand under it, My sins are too heavy a burden for me to bear, Psal. 38. 4.
