7. The time wherein Gods Spirit […] strive with men is to be improved. There are seasons wherein the holy Spirit is blessedly at work with the heart; now these are seasons which ought carefully to be improved. If men be to set sail, they must take the opportunity when the wind serveth: So if they would be setting Sail towards Heaven, they must observe the gales of the Spirit; they must lay hold on the opportunity, wherein the blessed breathings of the Spirit are afforded to them. These should be improved in order to Repentance, lest hap•y the spirit of the Lord ⟨p. 83⟩do forsake a man, and give him up to the hardness of his own heart for ever; as you have lately heard that with some sinners it is so. And these Seasons ought to be improved for Prayer, Eph. 6. 18. Pray always, ([Greek or Hebrew]) in every season, as the Greek phrase is, watching thereunto, &c. You must watch when the Spirit of God […] you up to Prayer, and then upon your knees, sometimes the Lord by his Spirit secretly moveth unto Prayer, yea, sometimes he puts the heart into a praying frame: Now that's a season of Grace which may not be neglected, without great danger to a mans Soul.
