Answ. Let him not take rest, until he make sure unto himself a Saving interest in Christ.
Quest 10. What way can a man make sure an interest in Christ, who never had a Saving interest in Him hitherto?

Quest. 11. What if my sins be singularly heinous and great beyond ordinary?
Answ. Whatsoever thy sins be, if thou wilt close with Christ Jesus by Faith, thou shalt never enter into Condemnation.
