EXAMINATIONS OF PERSONS UNDER SPIRITUAL CONCERN II

live without it one day: I take great delight in it as a Service to God in Christ;
and because I find much benefit to my Soul by it; and the Lord has been
pleased for Jesus Christs sake to give me many answers of Prayer, to bestow
upon me many Spiritual blessings I have been asking of him. Formerly I did
not know what heart-Corruptions were, or what it was to be troubled for
them or even to notice them: now I feel them very Sensibly, & bewail them in
Secret before God & have many Errands to Christ that he may conquer them
all and take my heart wholly to himself. Formerly I knew not what it was to
have recourse to Christ at all: of late, I think I have often closd with him in
all his offices with all my heart & Soul. I pretend not to be assured of Heaven,
but I desire humbly to wait & hope for the mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ
unto Eternal Life. To him be all Glory and honour now & forever. Amen.
