hideous and dreadful fentence
of
wrath ready

fall
upon me

I
fee blacknefs
of
darknefs and de-

even
furrounding
me
I
I
both
fee
and
feel
the
woful
accufations
of
a
guilty Confcience within
me,
condemning
me ;
continually
grating upon
my
foul,
and
terrifying
me
with
dread-

Vifions
of
eternal
miferies to betide

Now
then,
this fight being
prefented
before
an
enlight-

in
the pardon
and
forgivenefs
of
fin

Is
not

whole
Creation,
and

it
is
an evil
thing for
any man
to leek
his
happinefs
in
any
thing
here
in
the old
Creation, for
there
is
a
curie
upon
it,
and
it
will
come
to confufion. But
there
is a
new
Creation
of
all
in
Chrift,
of
all
fpiritual
things
in

finner when
he comes
to
have his fin
pardoned
and
be
juftified, he comes
into
a
new
Rate,
that
comes in by
the
new
Creation
;
