EXAMINATIONS OF PERSONS UNDER SPIRITUAL CONCERN II
cry to the Lord in my heart for strength against them, that they may not be
allowed to have dominion over me, & endeavor thro’ the Spirit to mortify
the deeds of the flesh that I may live. Before I was awakned last year, I was
much set upon the World, & gathring more & more of it; but now I do not
for ordinary find my thoughts run much that way. I am not afraid of worldly
poverty, but desire to rest content with whatever Lot God shall order for
me. I do not want to be rich in this worlds goods, but to be rich in faith, &
to be an heir of that kingdom he hath prepared for them that love him, &
undervalue all things compared with Christ & an Interest in him. I see so
much sin in all I do, that I need pardon of sin in the best duties ever I essayed
to perform: yet I find a byass in my corrupt nature tending to make me lay
some weight on these my defiled duties, & a great difficulty to be entirely
deny’d to them all; but I think I have been enabled to renounce all my own
Righteousness & to submit to the righteousness that is of God by faith, and
to build all my hopes of pardon acceptance with God & Eternal Life on the
perfect Righteousness of Jesus Christ: to whom be Glory for ever Amen.
