Commune then with thine own Heart, and attend •e common and general current of thine affections, ⟨p. 26⟩whether it be towards God in Christ, above all other concernments. Indeed sudden and strong Commotions of the Affections, and sensitive Part, are ofttimes found in Hypocrites, especially where the natural constitution leads thereunto; and contrariwise, the sanctified themselves are many times without sensible stirrings of the Affections, where the Temper is more slow, dry and dull. The great Enquiry is, whether the Judgment and Will be standingly determined for God above all other good, real or apparent; and if the Affections do sincerely follow their choice and conduct, tho' it be not so strongly and sensibly as to be desired, there is no doubt but the change is saving.
