2. As this is acceptable in the morning of our years,1 so in the morning of Gods revealing Himself; as soon as ever God begins to discover Himself, we should then seek Him early, when the soul saith as Paul said, Acts, 26.19. I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision, neither consulted I with flesh and blood. Hath God set up a light in your consciences? and hath it discovered to you your misery? and have you hearkened unto the voice of your consciences? What have you done since? Is sin reformed? Are you changed in the inner-man? Is Christ formed in you, and exalted upon his throne in your hearts? Is your will subjected to the will of God, and your whole man delivered up to the government of God? This were happy if it were so: But contrariwise, is sin let in, and liked of as well as ever after these stirrings and convictions of conscience? Then are you far from the number of those who are early seekers of God.
