Oh, I cannot go unto Christ, there's something required on my part, though not as a Price, yet as a Qualification; I must have some inherent righteousness, or else no Communion with God.
Then go back unto the Spirit, it is his business to work thy heart into a conformity unto God; God doth not only require thou shouldst be holy, because he is holy; bu• the Holy Ghost is ready to make thee holy. The wind now blows, do thou spread the sails.

Oh, but I never shall, I never can have any holiness to bear any kind of proportion to the holiness of God, and therefore it is in vain—I have experience more than enough of my heart. And I may by this time know what to expect.
Then go back unto the Father; he graciously condescends to accept of a little, the breathings of the soul, the trembling of the heart God-ward is not rejected by him.
