But then again, Sometimes it ariseth from the souls mistake in casting up of its accounts. The soul many times mistakes, 'tis in a hurry, and there the soul puts down ten for a hundred, and a hundred for a thousand; as sometimes men in hurrying over their Books, they slip and make mistakes, and so they think there's nothing got, whereas indeed there's much got, and in the close they shall find it so. Many a gracious soul many times, takes a great deal of gra•e for a little, and a little grace, for no grace. Look as Hypocrites put down their Counters for gold, their pence for pounds, and always prize themselves above the Market: So sincere souls do often put down their pounds for pence, their thousands for hundreds, and still prize themselves below the Market, &c.
