II. Cherish in your Souls, a Sensible Conviction of the Sickness, the Sinful Sickness that is upon your Souls. ⟨p. 33⟩You are Sinfully sick; Oh, become Sensibly sick. None, alas, None are so Sick, as they that are Sick, and know not that they are Sick: There is a Madness in their Sickness, and it is well, if with that Madness in their Hearts, they don't go down to the Dead. None so Wretched, as they, to whom it may be said, Rev. 3.17. Thou knowest not that thou art Wretched and Miserable.
Wherefore;
First; Meditate, Meditate, upon your Diseases, till Meditation do produce Conviction. There was a Convinced man, who thus came to be so; Psal. 119.59. I thought upon my ways.
