This being the over - word of the gofpel, it will follow, that the Confcience of a poor finner,that is fled toChriff for refuge, hath good ground of peace, and that there is no ground to the Confcience tormentingly or anxioufly to challenge ; and this is indeed do fmall Matter, and yet no prefumption, after a linnet bath fled to Chriff, to quiet himfelf, and to be at peace on this ground.
