to make a world. All the power in nature cmnot
pet up fo high, in a ftorm of fin and guilt, as really
to believe there is any willingnels in Chnft to fave.
When fin chargeth fin upon the conkience, then
charge it upon Chrift, that is gofpel-like; that is to
make him Chrift, he ferves for that PurPofe-r;To.;“;-
cept his blood and righteoufnefs alone for felvation,
that is the whole fum of the gofpel. When the foul
in all duties and diilrefies, can lay nothing but thrift
for jollification, fandification, and redemption > not
duties, not humblings, not graces, that loul hath
got above the reach of the billows.
h All Satan’s advantages arc laid in felfnghteoufne s,
God nurfueth this byfctting Satan upon thee ; this mutt
be torn from thee, this alone hinders Chnit from com- 4
ing in, and till Chrift come in guilt will nod go out ;
and where guilt is there is hardnels ot heart. _
When guilt is raifed up, take heed ot getting it al¬
layed any way but by Chrift's blood. Make Chrift
tby peace, not thy duties, thy tears, Chnlt thy ng -
teoutnefi, not thy graces; look at Chrift, and do s
much as thou wilt. Stand with all thy weight upon
Chrift’s righteonfnefs, take heed of having one foot on
thy own righteoufnefs, another on thrifts. HU
Chrift come and fit on high upon a throne of grace in
the comeience, there is nothing but guilt and terror*
the foul hanging between hope and deipair which is an
ungolpel ftate. . ,
Ire that fears to fee the utmoft hell of his ownheart,
fiifpeds the merits of Chrift; He thou, evei fuch a
great finner try Chrift to make him thy advocate, and
wilt find him Jefus Chrift the righteous. In all douot-
ings; fears, ftoims of confcience, look at Chnit con-
tinuallv. Ifo not argue with Satan, he defircs r.e
better/bid him go to Chrift and he will anfwcr him ;
it is his office to be our advocate, his office to am wet*
the taw as our furety, his office to anfwer juftice a?
