My Brethren, 'tis one thing for a man to have an interest in Christ, and another thing to have his interest cleared up to him. I do speak it with grief of heart, That even among such Christians that I hope to meet in Heaven, there's scarce one of forty, nay, one of a hundred, that is groundedly able to make out his interest in the Lord Jesus. Most Christians live between fear and hope, between doubting, and believing: One day they hope that all is well, and that all shall be well for ever; the next day they are ready to say, That ⟨p. 280⟩they shall one day perish by the hand of such a corruption, or else by the hand of such or such a temptation: And thus they are up and down, saved and lost, many times in a day.
