Several Promises of Scripture have at times been brought into my heart
with great sweetness; on a Fast day before the Sacrament, as I was going to
the Church in Summer 1743, that word came into my heart, I am come into
my garden, my Sister, my Spouse,4 at which I felt my heart set all as in a
flame with love to Christ: and that day hearing a Minister () preach on a Text
in the Song of Solomon, I had difficulty in time of that Sermon, to refrain
crying out for love & joy. [ ]5
For ordinary my chief Concern is about Securing an Interest in Christ;
The motions of Sin are my grief & burden; & sometimes I could be glad to
