Let it be a Trial of your estate: can you endure a plain, a powerful, an 1effectual Ministry? More particularly, can you endure a plain, effectual friend, that brings that which is spoken by the Minister more particularly home to your hearts? It is a sign of a good heart, of a repentant heart that would be better. But if not, it is a sign you have a reserved love to some special sin that will be your bane: it is a sign your souls have not repented. As you see after in another Chapter of this Epistle, where he sets down the fruits of repentance. And here is one sign, T• have acknowledged us in part, &c.
