Beloved, there is a difference of persons, and a difference of actions, and a difference of times, and a difference of applications.
Do I find an evil man brought to the sight of his sins, to saddest humbling for them, to sincere desire to come off from them, to pantings after grace, and mercy, I now come in with the blood of Christ, with the tender and gracious promises refreshing such a soul with assurance of freest and fullest mercy: Do I find a good man, weak in duty, strong in affection, hearty against all sin, yet troubled with the insolent motions of many corruptions? would not do evil, and yet is not rid of it; would do good, but then finds evil is present with him; I labour to raise and hold up such an heart to look on God through Christ for acceptance, to lay hold on Christ, for strength, for life, for power, for victory.
