Sixthly, Coming Sinner, hast thou now and then had a Kiss of the sweet Lips of Jesus Christ? I mean, some blessed words dropping like a Honey-comb upon thy Soul to revive thee when thou art in the midst of thy Dumps.
Seventhly, Does not Jesus Christ sometimes give thee a glimpse of himself, though perhaps thou seest him not so long a time, as while you may tell Twenty.
Eighthly, Hast thou not sometimes, as it were the warmth of his Wings over shadowing the Face of thy Soul, that gives thee as it were, a load upon thy spirit as the bright Beams of the Sun do upon thy Body, when it suddenly breaks out of a Cloud, though presently all is gone away.
Well, all these things are the good Hand of thy God upon thee, & they are upon thee to constrain to provoke, and to make the willing and able to come (coming Sinner,) that thou mightest in the End be saved.
