Jos. I am a Sinner. And I deserve to Dy.
Min. But now, if your Faith in the Sacrifice and the Righteousness of your SAVIOUR, be not the Hope of the Hypocrite, you will find this precious Effect of it. The Blood of your SAVIOUR being Sprinkled on your Soul, will run warm in the Veins of your Soul, and make you Wish, and Long, and Groan to be Like Him, and be all that He would have you to be. You will Detest the Sins, which are Forgiven you; and abhor to Repeat them. You will study to be Holy in all manner of Conversation. You will be filled with the Love of GOD; and aim at Serving and Pleasing of GOD as the Chief End of all; and you will have your Will to be Swallowed up in the Will of GOD; and give up your All unto Him.
Jos. I desire your Prayers for me.
Min. But, what may be the more Special sins, which you may apprehend, have provoked ⟨p. 40⟩the Holy One, to leave you unto what you are now come unto?
