W. My Lord!
S. It is a neglecting of the Seal of the Covenant of Grace, it is Hypocrisy to complain• of the hardness of your heart, and yet will not use the means to have it softened; and of the power of your sin, and will not use the means to have it weakened.

W. I never knew any under my doubts and fears that went to this Ordinance, and found good thereby?
S. Not so, for I my self was long under the same doubts and fears, and I know my heart was as bad as yours can be; but when I was willing to forsake my sin & close with Christ; sense of duty, fear of sin if I did not, moved me to the use thereof, and there God resolved my doubts, and removed my fears, and made it profitable to my soul, for my comfort and increase of grace.
