Wherefore, Commune with your own Heart, and let your Spirit make a Diligent Search. O Examine; Is there no SIN, but what is become odious to me? Examine; Is a whole CHRIST, with all His Benefits precious to me? Examine! Is there nothing I so much long for as to have my Heart filled with the Love of GOD, and have GOD Reigning in my Soul? O make a Severe, Exact, Thorough Scrutiny!
Wherefore, Commune with your own Heart, and let your Spirit make a Diligent Search. O Examine; Is there no SIN, but what is become odious to me? Examine; Is a whole CHRIST, with all His Benefits precious to me? Examine! Is there nothing I so much long for as to have my Heart fill'd with the Love of GOD, and have GOD Reigning in my Soul? O make a Severe, Exact, Thorough Scrutiny!
If you are thus Really Turned unto GOD, then may you go away Singing, Return to thy Rest, O my Soul!—For Thou, O Lord, hast delivered my Soul from Death!
Ah, Poor FENWICK, Wilt thou not magnify the Grace of GOD thy SAVIOUR! Of old, a City of Refuge in the Holy Land, would not receive and protect a Murderer. But in a Glorious CHRIST there is a City of Refuge that stands open for thee. A Penitent Murderer may find a Refuge there. Oh! Fly for a Refuge unto the Hope set before thee.
