The way to have our sores cured, is first to have them throughly searched; I considered my ways, and turned my feet to thy testimonies, Psal. 119.59. If thou wouldst have thy face clean, look into the glass of the Law, and view thy spots: He that knoweth not that he is in a wrong path, will not turn back, though the farther he goeth, the greater is his deviation and danger. Jer. ⟨p. 142⟩31.19. After I was instructed, or after I was made known to my self, I repented. As Abigail said to David, if thou hearken to thy servant, it will be no grief of mind hereafter to my Lord, that thou art kept from shedding of blood; so say I to thee; If thou wilt faithfully examine thy self, it will be no cause of sorrow hereafter to thee, that thou wert thereby kept from a further shedding the blood of thy soul.1 I will conclude this motive with the meditation of the learned and holy Bishop, now with Christ.
