in

There
area

of

it
will bring
them
to
defpaire
if they fhould
give
but
any
way
in
their
mourning
for
their
fin
;
and
therefore
though
fometimes they
think
their
hearts begin
to be toucht
by
the word, they
labour
with
all
their
might
to
put
off
that
word,and they
wil
come no
more to heare
if
they
meet
with
a
word
that
cones
to their
confciences andcuts
to the
quick
,
they
will come no
more,
they
cannot
fleep

quietly that night
as
they did formerly
