Christian believe me, or thou mayest find it by experience too true, when thou hast forgot old sins, or canst remember them without new affliction of soul, thou art near a fall; Look to thy self, and cry to God, for preventing grace. There will be great hopes we shall be faithful in our n•w Covenant, when we come with a godly sense and sorrow for our abuse of old, and la•our to maintain it upon our spirits.
Christian beleeve me, or thou mayest finde it by experience too true, when thou hast forgot old sins, or canst remember them without new affliction of soul, thou art neer a fall; Look to thy self, and cry to God, for preventing grace. There will be great hopes we shall be faithfull in our n•w Covenant, when we come with a godly sence and sorrow for our abuse of old, and la•our to maintain it upon our spirits.
But so much for the first direction; I come to the second.
Secondly, 1If you would have this Covenant to be a perpetual Covenant, Labour to see old scores crossed; do not only mourn for thy Covenant-unfaithfulness; but labour to get thy pardon written and sealed to thee in the blood of Covenant. There i• virtue enough in the blood of the Covenant to expiate the guilt of thy sins against the Covenant.
