The use which we are to make hereof, is, that we do not seek for joy & consolation in worldly vanities, in the mean time being destitute of the comfort of Gods Spirit; but first let us labour for assurance of our true conversion, and then being at peace with God, we shall be replenished with the joy of the holy Ghost.
