Beloved, it is granted, that if a man finds himself indeed Sol. under the dominion of any sin, assuredly he hath peculiar cause of great humblings, speediest reformings, vehement 1beggings at the throne of grace for mercy and for the mighty power of Jesus Christ to release and deliver his soul: But then let us carefully observe, whither this of which a man complains, be sin in dominion or not, perhaps it may be something else, and then the soul must be advised and directed in a more especial way.
