Sect. 4. And if the danger is so great of not performing this duty of loving Christ, what kind of means should we not use for the obtaining of the one, and (in consequence of that,) for the escaping of the other? By fervent Prayers, and Importunities, and by watching thereunto with all Perseverance, how should we wrestle, and contend, (as Iacob did) with the Almighty? resolving never to let him go, till he hath bless't us with an ability to love the Lord Iesus Christ, as he requires? if there are any wayes and methods, if any stratagems of Reason, if any Pulleys of the Will, whereby to wind up our Affections to things above; Lord! |
