In these times of infection, what do we? those that are careful of themselves, that go abroad in dangerous places, they have Preservatives; they take something to preserve their spirits, and to strengthen them against the contagion abroad: and it is wisdom so to do, it is folly to neglect it, and to tempt God, not to be careful in this kind: it is very well done. But what is this, if thou do not fence thy soul and thy spirit, and take a draught of the Promises every day afresh? Let us take out our pardon of course every day of the forgiveness of sins. We sin every day, let us go for our pardon; If we sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ, and he is the propitiation for our sins. And the blood of Jesus Christ shall purge us from all sin. And he is in justifying us still every day, he is acquitting our souls: and there is a pardon of course to be taken out every day. Let us renew and refresh our hearts with the Promises of pardon and forgiveness of sins every day. Let us strengthen our souls with renewing the Promises of grace for that day to walk comfortably before God, that he will keep us by his Spirit from sin, that he will be a shield, and a Sun to us, that he will give us wisdom to carry our selves as we should, and he will give us his holy Spirit if we beg it.
