Answ. See the 〈◊〉 of them ibid. 1 In regard of God, they 156 1 Estrange them from God 156 2 Carry thy heart to oppose him. 158 2 They are the Causes of all thy other sins. 161 3 In the large extent of them 164 4 They do nourish all other evils 165 5 They keep off the power of the Word. 166 3 Or a small matter in practice 167 Answ. The less the thing is 1 The more heinous thy sin 168 2 The less care and conscience hast thou. 170 3 The greater the wickedness of thy heart. 171 2 The second sort of Shifts and Excuses, whereby a man thinks the danger of sin may some ways be prevented 174 Conceiving that 1 Either God takes no notice of their sins. 175 〈1 page duplicate〉〈1 page duplicate〉 2 Or he will not call them to account 176 3 Or they can satisfy for them 177 4 Or the Lord will not be so rigorous, but will abate 179 All these confuted ibid. 3 The third sort of Shifts, whereby if a man can neither lessen the danger, nor prevent it, he says he will, and thinks he can bear it. 179 This also confuted, and the impossibility of bearing God's wrath is shown ibid. 1 The dreadfulness of God's wrath 180 2 The weakness of man. 181 3 The sufferings of Christ ibid. 4 Means, Yield to the Evidence of the truth when it's clear and cónvincing 182 5 Means, All those truths we hear or read in the Word which concerns our corruption, we must take home, and apply to ourselves, as the special portion the Lord hath appointed to us 185 6 Means, Make and keep the evil of sin ever really present with us 186 1 See it in the execution of it upon others 187 2 Act that upon thyself by present consideration 189 Motives to persuade to this endeavor to see our sins. 1 The danger of the mistake here 190 2 It's the easiest way to see sin now. 191 3 It's a safe and sure way 192

DOCT. 3.

Application of special sins by the Ministry, is a means to bring men to sight of, and sorrow for them.	193
Reasons three, taken from
1 The Office of Ministers.	195
2 The necessity of sinners	196
3 The Nature of the Word	197
Uses four, hence.
1 See the Reason why so little good is done by the Ministry, viz. Want of Application	198
2 See the Reason why the best kind of Preaching finds the worst acceptance	200
3 It's the Duty of Ministers as the Text suits, and the condition of the Hearers requires, to use Particular
Application of special sins.	202
〈◊〉
1 To the Ministers, what they should do	204
2 To the People, what they should desire	206

DOCT. 4.

Meditation of sin, a special means to break the heart	208
What Meditation is, viz.	210
A serious 〈◊〉 of the mind, whereby we search out the Truth, and settle it effectually upon the heart.	ibid.
Reasons three. Because Meditation
1 Causes the sting of sin to pierce more deeply	217
2 Holds the heart under the pressures of it	219
3 Encreaseth and presseth down the weight of it upon the Conscience	221
Uses three, hence
1 Humiliation that there is so little Meditation.	223
This in special concerns
1 Such as studiously avoid it.	224
Terror to such; they take the way to increase their misery when they would avoid it.	225
Advice to such: Be afraid to commit sin, but never be afraid to see it	226
2 Such 〈◊〉 approve the Practice, but plead Excuses why they may neglect it	ibid.
1 Meditation is but a matter of indifferency, not of Duty	227
2 The want of time	229
3 Unsteadiness of their thoughts	ibid.
4 〈◊〉 in the Service	238
All these confuted, and Remedies prescribed	239
2 Caution: Loose Company an Enemy to the Conversion of a sinner, because a hindrance of Meditation	240
3 Exhortation to attend this duty of Meditation	241
Motives four,
1 It's a Duty belonging to all	244
2 How far we are cast behind hand for want of it.	245
3 What need we have of it	ibid.
4 The Sovereign virtue of it	247
Directions to help in the practice of Meditation.	249
1 Enquire after the Nature of a sin.	ibid.
In this Enquiry
1 Look to the Rule, to Authorize us to the work.	ib.
2 For the manner of proceeding	250
1 Survey particular sins	251
1 In the Root	ibid.
2 In the fruits of them.	ibid.
2 Sum them up jointly	262
2 Fasten it upon the soul	265
1 By grappling with the heart	ibid.
2 By getting the better of the heart	ibid.
Here take heed of three extremes	272
1 Desperate discouragements	273
2 Hellish provocations	274
3 False conceivings of the measure and manner of God's work	275
Directions to help here, are three:
1 Possess the heart with the fear of thy sinful and dangerous estate	276
2 Awaken and call for the help of Conscience	279
3 Seek to the Lord for the Almighty hand of his Spirit to set on thy Meditations	282

DOCT. 5.

The same Word is profitable to some, not to others	283
Reasons two. Because
1 God hath several ends to attain by the dispensations of his Word	284
2 God will show the Sovereignty of his good pleasure.	ibid.
Uses four, hence
1 Learn to fear in the enjoyment of greatest means.	285
2 The profitable fruit of the means, is not in the means.	ibid.
3 Exhortation: Use means in dependence upon God.	386
4 Be thankful when thou dost profit by them.	ibid.

DOCT. 6.

The Lord sometimes makes the Word prevail most, when it's most opposed	287
The Lord works many times
1 Upon men when they seek not 〈◊〉 .	289
2 Upon the worst of men.	294
3 In the height of Rebellion	ibid.
Reasons four. Because
1 The greatness of his Power, is hereby discovered.	292
2 The 〈◊〉 of his mercy 〈◊〉 is 〈◊〉	294
3 The Lord will stain the Glory of all flesh	295
4 And discovers the depths of his 〈◊〉 .	296
〈◊〉 Three, hence.
1 Instruction: The work of Conversion depends 〈◊〉 upon any preparation that man can make	297
Hence that's a dangerous Error.	〈◊〉
If a man do what he can, God will give 〈◊〉 Grace	300
1 It undermines the Sovereign good pleasure of God	ibid.
2 It cuts the sinews of the Covenant of Grace	301
3 It crosseth the end of the means of Grace	302
2 To support the hearts of the most wretched sinners with some hopes of good, notwithstanding all their wickedness. God may and can if he will work upon them.
Cautions here	309
1 God will do thee good in his own way	316
2 Fear lest thou make an escape from the hand of the Lord	317
If thou doest
1 It's suspicious the Lord hath lest thee	ibid.
2 He will deliver thee up to thy sins again	219
3 Exhortation to quicken our desires and endeavors in the use of the means	320
4 Admiration at the riches and freeness of Grace.	323

DOCT. 7.

Sins unrepented of, make way for piercing Terrors	325
Reas. Because the heart is more estranged from God, and bardened in sin	327
Uses Three, hence.
1 Judge not of sin by the present sweetness, but by the after sorrows.	ibid.
2 It should be our greatest care to rise presently after falls into sin	329
3 Terror to such as continue in their sins	330

DOCT. 8.

The Truth is terrible to a guilty Conscience.	332
Reas. Because it's a Witness to accuse; a Judge to condemn; an Executioner to torment	ibid.
Use. It discovers the guiltiness and falseness of such as are afraid of the Truth	ibid.
Differences between the Saints trembling at the Truth, and an Hypocrite	333
1 Though the Word speaks against the corruption, yet it speaks for the condition of the Saints	ibid.
2 The Saints 〈◊〉 sweetness in the sharpest Truths, and close with God in them.	ibid.

DOCT. 9.

Gross and scandalous sinners, God usually exerciseth with heavy breakings of heart before they be brought to Christ	334
Reasons Three:
1 From the Holiness of God's Nature	340
2 That sinners may not be encouraged in their sins.	341
3 That the sinner himself may be	342
1 Throughly recovered from 〈◊〉 sin for the present.	ibid.
2 Preserved from sin for the time to come	ibid.
Uses Five, hence.
1 The easy and sudden Conversion of scandalous sinners, is to be suspected. God doth not use to save men per 〈◊〉 .	343
2 Support to scandalous sinners when they meet with 〈◊〉〈◊〉 .	347
1 Such are in the way of Mercy.	349
2 The workmay prove speedy and successful	350
3 This makes way for Comforts	351
4 It's honorable for such to be under heavy breakings of heart	353
3 Advice to Ministers, who by their Calling are to deal with scandalous sinners in such horrors	354
1 Be not 〈◊〉 in the search	355
2 Nor 〈◊〉 to heal the wound	ibid.
3 Nor suddenly confident of the Cure	356
4 Direction to such persons who have had experience of such heart-breakings	ibid.
Be not weary of God's Dispensations.
5 Exhortation to keep ourselves and ours from scandalous sins	357

DOCT. 10.

Sorrow for sin rightly set on, pierceth the heart of the sinner through, that is rightly affected therewith.	358
For Explication, four Things:	362
1 The Manner how Sorrow for 〈◊〉〈◊〉 on the soul.	363
1 Either successively, or by degrees in some	ibid.
1 The evil and danger of his sin, is 〈◊〉 in the general	ibid.
2 He is surprised and pursued with fear	364
3 The Curses and Punishments of sin are fastened upon him	366
4 He is made to feel the evil of sin 〈◊〉 sin, and that as his greatest evil	368
2 Or suddenly and thoroughly 〈◊〉 once in some others	372
3 Or secretly and insensibly in others.	374
1 Some are Sanctified in the Womb,	375
2 Some wrought upon in Child-hood	ibid.
3 Some under good Education, Counsels, Means, are gradually, yet really wrought upon.	ibid.
Cautions here.
1 Though the manner and measure of Contrition differ in most, yet the substance of the Work is the same in all.	ibid.
2 Though some may not know the time, yet everyone should, and if gracious, can give evidence of the Workwrought	360
3 It's a safe way often to review, and to act over the first workings of Contrition.	377
For
1 A wound here is never recovered	378
2 Clear this, and clear all.	ibid.
2 How this Sorrow comes to be set on, and the soul made to feel sin its greatest evil	379
1 Sin is cross to the Nature of the soul as such.	380
2 If the evil of sin be discovered to the Nature of the soul, it may be made sensible thereof.	382
3 While the soul is fully and only possessed with sin, it cannot feel the evil of it.	ibid.
4 The Spirit countermands the Authority of sin.	383
5 Christ by the virtue of his death, puts an end to the Commission of sin.	384
3 How far the soul is active in Contrition.	385
1 There is no power in man to remove the resistance of his heart against God and Grace.	385
2 The Lord must put a Spiritual power into the will before it can put forth an act for removing this resistance.	386
3 The influence of this spiritual power, is not by a gracious habit, but by the motion of the spirit upon the soul	388
4 In removing this resistance, the will is a mere Patient.	〈◊〉
5 This resistance being removed, the will consents to a divorce between itself and sin	393
4 The behavior of the heart under this work	396
1 The contrite sinner hath the loath somness of fin ever in sight	ibid.
2 He is tender and easy to be convinced	399
3 He loathes himself for his sins.	404
4 He fears all fin, and provocations thereunto.	406
5 He delights most in those means that discover and remove corruptions	407
6 He is restlessly importunate in seeking Christ and mercy.	411
Reasons four: Because
1 Such a sorrow for sin, is only true in God's account	414
2 Without this, the heart can never be separated from fin	415
3 By this the resistance of the heart against Christ, is removed.	416
4 Without this, he cannot receive Christ.	ibid.
Uses four, hence.
1 Humiliation for the want of this saving sorrow.	ibid.
Five sorts want it.
1 The heedless Professor	417
2 The treacherous 〈◊〉	419
3 The self-conceited Pharisee	423
4 The complaining 〈◊〉	425
5 The discouraged Hypocrite.	427
2 Terror to 〈◊〉 sinners. As	428
1 Secure sinners that never were 〈◊〉 to 〈◊〉 and feel their sins	429
1 Such are out of the way of God	431
2 So continuing, God hath appointed no good for them.	432
3 Christ came not to save such	434
2 Relapsed sinners, who have been awakened to see and feel their sins, but have fallen back again, and their hearts grown harder than before.	ibid.
1 It is suspicious the day of Grace is past with such a one	436
2 Their Judgment hastens	438
3 Comfort	ibid.
1 To broken-hearted sinners themselves, their sorrows are not to death, but in the way to deliver from death, and so to bring unto life	439
2 To their friends and well-wishers: they are now, and were never before in the way of mercy	444
4 Exhortation: Labor for this saving sorrow of Contrition	447
1 Do not tug with the resistance of thy heart by thine own power	449
2 Do not fear the terror of the Truth so as to step aside from under it, but think of the goodness of it.	450
3 Possess thy soul with the ticklishness and danger of miscarrying in this work.	451

DOCT. 11.

They whose hearts are pierced by the Word, are carried with Love and respect to the Ministers of it.	453
Reasons two: Because
1 They know more now than they did before.	454
2 〈◊〉 hath more Liberty now to express what they know	455
Uses two, hence.
1 Sound Contrition makes a strange and sudden 〈◊〉	557
2 Terror to such as after Conviction, hate both the Word and Ministers of it	558

DOCT. 12.

He that is pierced by the Word truly, is busy to inquire, and ready to submit to the mind of God.	560
1 He is busy to inquire.	ibid
Reasons two. Because
1 He now finds the evil of sin.	562
2 And the folly of his former conceits	563
Uses two, hence.
1 Terror to hard-hearted sinners, who never inquire after the mind of God	564
2 Direction, teaching the way to make men serious in their enquiries after Christ, viz. Maintain the work of Contrition	570
2 He is ready to submit to the Ministers, making known the mind of God	ibid.
Reasons three. Because
1 The pride of their carnal Reason is conquered.	572
2 The stubbornness of their wills is tamed	573
3 They have found the truth and terror of the Word	ibid.
Uses two, hence.
1 See the Reason of that unreadiness and unwillingness of man to submit to the evidence of the Word, they want broken-heartedness.	ibid.
2 Trial, discovering such as were never brokenhearted at all.	574
1 Open Rebels.	ibid.
2 Secret Traitors.	575

DOCT. 13.

Sinners in distress of Conscience, are ignorant what they should do	576
Reasons two, taken from
1 The Secrecy of the ways of God	577
2 The blindness of the distraction of their minds.	579
Uses two, hence.
1 Instruction: Men in distress of Conscience are apt to be misled	580
2 Advice to mourners in Zion; Be careful to whose Counsel you commit yourselves.	582

DOCT. 14.

A Contrite sinner sees a necessity of coming out of his sinful Condition	583
1 He propounds no terms of toleration	584
2 He maintains no reservation	ibid.
3 He admits no case of exception	385
Reasons three. Because
1 He hath felt the severity of God's Justice against every sin.	ibid.
2 He finds it impossible to bear the weight of the least sin	587
3 He perceives the combination of all Lusts. So that any one sin	589
1 Keeps possession for Satan	ibid.
2 Keeps off the power of God's Ordinances.	590
Uses three, hence.
1 Trial, whether we have found this absolute necessity of parting with all sin	ibid.
It discovers the falsehood of
1 Neuters	593
2 Formal Professors	594
2 Instruction: See the reason of men's un-even and unsteady walking. viz. The want of 〈◊〉	593
3 Direction how to keep the heart opposite to every sin.	ibid.
1 Be convinced sin is the greatest evil	ibid.
2 Confider not of any cavil to the contrary.	ibid.

DOCT. 15.

There is a secret Hope wherewith the Lord supports the hearts of contrite sinners.	596
This Hope differs from that which a Believer hath, in two things
1 In the ground of it	598
2 In the uncertainty	600
Reasons two. That so he may thereby
1 Secretly support the 〈◊〉	601
2 Make way for the work of the means	ibid.
Uses three, hence.
1 Instruction: See the reason why Satan so much endeavors to dead the hopes of the Contrite by suggesting	602
1 He is not elected	ibid.
2 The day of Grace is past	606
3 He hath sinned against the holy Ghost All which are answered.	ibid.
2 Observe how easy it is with the Lord to confound a sinner with his own imagination	607
3 Exhortation to nourish this Hope	ibid.
Therefore be persuaded
1 Of thine own ignorance, and inability to relieve thyself	608
2 Of God's All-sufficiency, who can do beyond what thou canst conceive.	ibid.

DOCT. 16.

They who are truly pierced for their sins, do prize and covet deliverance from their sins.	ibid.
1 In the want of this, the soul is not quieted	610
2 He is content with this, though he want other things	611
3 He is resolved to submit to any Counsel	613
4 His 〈◊〉 is upon it, his prayers daily about it.	614
Reasons three. Because he finds that
1 The presence of other evils will not hinder him in his spiritual estate	615
2 The presence of sin alone poisons all good things to him	616
3 The removal of this would set open the floodgates of mercy.	617
Uses two, hence.
1 See the reason why most men prize not Salvation, because never broken-hearted.	ibid
2 Reproof to
1 Secure sinners	618
2 〈◊〉 Professors.	ibid.

DOCT. 17.

True Contrition is accompanied with Confession of sin, when God calls thereunto.	619
For Explication, three things.
1 When a sinner is called to Confession	619
1 Public sins must be publicly confessed	621
2 Private sins to the persons wronged	624
3 Secret sins	625
1 If a man hath confessed them to God, and he hath pardoned, he need not, should not confess them to men.	626
2 If the Lord deny pardon and power, then he calls him to confess unto man	628
3 In case restitution cannot otherwise be made, he must confess to man	629
2 When is Confession serious and hearty	630
1 When it is free; that is, when a man is,
1 Easie to be convinced	ibid.
2 Ready to acknowledge	633
3 And takes the evil to himself	636
2 When it is full, and that in regard of	ibid.
1 Relating sins as they are	638
2 The opposition of the heart against them.	639
3 When it leaves the sinner base in his own eyes.	640
4 When he intends to take advantage against himself and his sin by it.	ibid.
3 How doth Contrition bring in this Confession?	641
It causeth a man
1 To see the danger of sin	ibid.
2 To feel the bitterness of it	643
3 To be ashamed of himself and sin	645
Uses four, hence.
1 Instruction: See the reason of sinful turnings and windings to hide sin	646
2 Reproof to such as think it weakness and baseness thus to confess a man's sins	647
3 Trial whether a man hath been brought to this frame of spirit, thus to confess sin when called thereunto.	650
It discovers the falseness of four sorts
1 Such as out of hardness of heart, and custom, are without all sense of sin.	651
2 Such as instead of bearing the shame of their sins, cast shame upon the Truth that discovers sin.	652
3 Such as seek for shameful hidings to cover sin.	653
4 Such as repent of their Confessions.	654
How to know we are content to take shame for sin by a right Confession of it	655
1 He opposeth not the Truth that discovers his sin and shame.	ibid.
2 He is not offended with the man that is the Instrument.	656
3 He is not disquieted in the bearing of it	636
4 He will not choose unlawful means to be rid of it.	665
4 Exhortation to attend the duty of Confession when thou art called thereunto.	ibid.
Be wise in choosing the Party to whom you confess: He must be
1 Skilful	666
2 Merciful	ibid.
3 Faithful.	667
Motives to Confession,
1 It's an honorable thing	ibid.
2 A matter of safety	668
3 A Means of Secrecy.	ibid.

DOCT. 18.

The soul that is pierced for sin, is carried with a restless dislike against it, and separation from it.	670
Branch 1. Detestation, or hatred of sin.
Concerning which, for Explication two things	672
1 What is the Nature of this hatred of sin here in Contrition, discovered in six Conclusions	673
1 As Adam, and all his departed from God, so Christ brings back all his to God in a contrary way.	673
2 There is nothing in the soul can turn it from sin.	674
3 This first aversion from sin, is not wrought by any habit of Grace put into the soul.	ibid.
Reasons two. Because
1 Gracious habits cannot act before they have being in the soul, as the subject of them.	675
2 The soul in its natural estate, is uncapable of receiving the habit of Grace	ibid.
4 Yet the Spirit puts forth its power upon the soul to turn it from sin to God	ibid.
5 Christ as the Head of the Covenant, takes away the Commission that sin and Satan had to hold the soul.	676
6 The soul in the Nature of it, being forced to find sin bitter, is loosened from it, and so becomes subject to the power of the Spirit, turning of it from sin to God	677
2 How this hatred may be discerned	680
1 It is attended with a continual fear of the deadly infection of sin	ibid.
2 It seeks the destruction of sin. Hence	684
1 He opposeth sin most in himself	ibid.
1 He doth what he can against it.	685
2 He seeks help from God in Christ.	686
2 He seeks the removal of it in others where-ever he finds it	688
3 It admits no terms of agreement	689
Reasons three. Because
1 Without this, there is no room for faith	690
2 Without this no expectation of Salvation from Christ.	ibid.
3 Sin is the only enemy of the Soul.	691
Uses two, hence.
1 Humiliation that there are so few in the world, that know what this hatred against sin means.	ibid.
2 Trial, discovering such as never had this hatred against sin wrought, were never contrite. As	ibid.
1 Careless, fearless Professors	693
2 Neuters in Religion	696
3 Lazy Hypocrites	697
4 Treacherous Hypocrites	698
Branch 2. Sequestration from sin.
Which discovers itself in two things,
1 No allurements can entice	700
2 Nor miseries force the soul to former sins.	ibid.
Uses two, hence,
1 Instruction: See the reason of all revolts and backslidings, want of this separation.	701
2 Exhortation, to seek to the Lord that he would work this in us.	ibid.
