3. I saw Sin had shut him from me, and my Unbelief, when he came to me, shut him out of me. Hence I saw a Need of a Mediator between us, and mourned.
I had a Glimpse of the Fullness of Grace in Christ in Meditation on John 1.14, like a Fountain over-flowing and above all my Conceiving to poor Sinners which come to him. And hence my Heart began to be filled with lively Hope and Assurance.

Decemb. 26. In reading the 12th of Hebrews, That Things shaken and made must be removed, that Things unmoveable may stand; I saw hence three Things: 1. That only Christ and his Word shall remain and stand unshaken. 2. That it's the sweetest Thing to forsake all Creatures, and there to abide as the Stone on the Foundation. (1) Tis born up with it. (2) It rests there. 3. I saw how good it was to depart out of this World and to be with God, perfectly near Him, where no more shaking is, or shall be.
