1.1 If it sprung in the heart by the public Ministry of Gods holy word; if the heart was broken, and bruised, and brought to an holy desperation, whereby it wholly renounced, disclaimed, 2and disavowed it self, as unworthy of life, of breath, or being: if then it began to lift up its eyes upon the precious promises of Salvation, revealed in the Gospel, and shining gloriously in the face of Christ: And if lastly it perceived some glimpses of comfort, hopes of pardon in the blood of Christ, whence arose an hungering desire, and longing thirst after the mercies of God, and merits of Christ Jesus; and so it casts it self with strong cries and prayers into the arms of Christ his blessed Redeemer.
