A

fredtife

of

Gonfcience.

I

alide all

and look

about it

only. How

can

men

eat, drink,

fleep,

&c. fith

the

wrath

of

God

abideth upon

all

unbelievers?

Methinks

our

fouls

should

take

no

content,

do

nothing

elfe

but faint

after

Ch

rift,

until

we

know our intereft

in

him. I

fay

again

;

This

is

the

grand enquiry,

that

bufìneffe

which all

bufi-

nefe

mutt

give

place

unto,Oh,

the

floth

of

our

fouls

l

Let

us

in

time awake

and

route

them

up,

and never

relit

untill

we

know

our

own eftate

to

be

good

before

God,

that

fo

our

hearts

may

have

comfort,

and

that

with

God.
