Mor. I thank God for what He ha's wrought in my Soul.—
Min. But be very careful about this matter: if you build on your own good Affections instead of Jesus Christ the only Rock, if you think ⟨p. 79⟩they shall recommend you to God, He that made you will not have mercy on you.
Mor. I would be clothed with the Righteousness if JESUS CHRIST.
Min. But you can't sincerely desire that Christ should justify you, if you don't also desire that He should sanctify you: those two always go together. Is every lust that has hitherto had possession of your heart become so loathsome to you, that it would fill your Soul with joy to hear Jesus Christ say, I will subdue those Iniquities of thine; I will make a holy, an heavenly, a spiritually minded person of thee.
