and ⟨p. 169⟩what will the vain imaginations, and high thoughts which exalted themselves against God and Christ, have me to do? but now it is, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? Before his heart was like hard wax, it would take no impression from God; but now it is softened by this fire of inward humiliation, it is ready for any stamp. God may imprint what he pleaseth; Lord, what wilt thou have me do? The other instance is in the cruel, rough, hard-hearted Jailer; After the earth-quake, and the heart-quake which God had caused, he springs trembling in, and fell down before Paul and Silas, crying out, Sirs, What shall I do to be saved? Acts 16. 29, 30. Observe, now the man is heartsick indeed; he is willing to take the most bitter pills; As if he had said, Sirs, Do but tell me what I must do for salvation; though the terms be never so hard, the conditions never so unpleasant, the price never so much, the pains never so great, yet I will submit to any thing, to all things for salvation. What must I do to be saved?
