vêñaìit
with
God
, I
cannot
remember
any
fuch
work
;
per-
haps
thy heart
finks
'down within
thee,
becaufe
thou
can
'ft
not clear
up
this
work
of
entring into Covenant with
God
',heretofore
:
Now
the
time
that thou
fpendefl
in
feeking
af-
'ter
this
work
,
fpend
it
in
entring
now into Covenant
with
God
at this
prefent
time
;
it
will
be
no
hindrance
to thee
that thou can'fl
not
find
what
was
heretofore
,
if
now at this
prefent thou
can't}
furrender
up
thy
Pelf
to
God
in
an
ever
-
lafling Covenant, this
is
enough,
do
it
:
Now
if
you
can
find
your hearts, now
come
in,
and
yield
up
your
felves
into
Cove-
nant
with God
,
you may
have
the comfort
of
this Evidence
as
fully
as
if
you
clearly
remembred
all
the
former
tranf
-
ac`}ions,
and the
work
of
God
upon
you
in
your
firf}
entring
into
Covenant with
God
:
Again, thofe that
had
their
fins
pardoned,
I
told you
,
were brought
into the Kingdom
of
Chris}
;
but
you
will
fay,
I
cannot
remember how
I
was
tranflated
;
7akZe
now upon
you
the Scepter
of
refus
Chrifi
many
trouble themfelves,
Paying I
never
found fuch
humi-
liations and
troubles
forfin
as
you
fpeak of,
or
as
others
have
found
How
is it
now with
your
fouls
?
Do you
find
fin now
a
burden
to
your
fouls
?
Is
it
not the
greateft
aftli
di-
an
?
If
you were put
to
your
choice,
had
you
not
rather
fuller
any
thing
in the
world
than
fin
ag
inft
God
;
and
not
only out
of
ConviElions
of
f
Confcience,but
becaufe you
find
a
frame
of
fpirit
in your hearts
fuitable
thereunto
s
for
an
Hypocrite
he may have
Convictions
of
Confcience
but
the
frame
of
his
fpirit
is
not fuited
thereunto
:
in you
there
is a
frame
of
fpirit
fuit-able
to the
convic`lions
of
Confcience
within
you, though you cannot remember you
have
had
fuch
fur-
rows and troubles
in
cc.nviéìons for fin,
as
others have
had
while they were under the
fpirit of
bondage
yet
you may
be
comforted-
by the prefent
frame
of
fpirit that
you have
and,
fo in
the like cafes,
if
you
cannot
find
your
old Evidences
,
fall to
work
to
renew
your
Evidences
,
and
do not
fpend
time
in
lying
down under the difcouragements
of
your
own
hearts.
T
he
f
xth Rule
is
this,
When
you
examine
your
felves
to
f
nd
out
your
Evidences,carry this thought along
With
you,
that
