On another Day, thus. I was this Day much Affected at the Table of the Lord, saying in Prayer unto Him there; Lord, we shall never Perish! They that Believe on thy CHRIST shall never Perish: And thou knowest, that we Believe on Him. Though hast brought us to the Blood of Sprinkling; and therefore thou wilt bring us to JESUS, the Mediator of the New Covenant, and we shall behold His Glory. We shall see our Joseph, our JESUS, in all His Glory, we shall behold our King Solomon, in all His Glory, yea, Solomon in all his Glory was not arrayed like our JESUS. We shall see that Glory; yea, sit down with Him on the Throne of His Glory.

On another Day, thus. I had some Quickenings at the Lords Table; Especially in Praying for much of the SPIRIT of CHRIST, and saying, Lord, we have one Argument to Plead with Thee; and it is a great one; yea, it will be a ⟨p. 47⟩Prevailing Argument. It is, thy own dear Name, and the Glory of it. If thou will give us much of the Spirit of CHRIST, thy Great Name will then have much Glory from us.
On another Day, thus. I had some Quickenings at the Table of the Lord; Especially in the last Prayer, Saying; O Heavenly Father, and our GOD in our Lord JESUS CHRIST; we have Avouched Thee to be our GOD; And now we know that thou hast Avouched us to be thy People: Because thou hast given us thy Son, and thou wilt with Him give us all things: Father, We humbly expect from thee, that according to thy Covenant, even the New Covenant, thou wilt Forgive us our Iniquities. Such is the Grace of thy Covenant, that thou wilt not Impute our Infirmities to us, if they be our Burden. And thou knowest that they are so. We put the Answer of our Prayers upon That, and are willing to be Denied if it he not so. But thou that searchest all our Hearts, knowest that thou hast Created such a Spirit within us. We are willing to be Delivered from all Sin, and we are willing to yield Holy Obedience to all thy Commands, though how to Perform, we find not. Father, Father, Deal with us as with thy Children.
