Psalm cvi. 11, 12.

In this discourse of mine, you may see much; much I say, of the
grace of God towards me: I thank God, I can count it much; for it
was above my sins and Satan's temptations too. I can remember my
fears and doubts, and sad months, with comfort; they are as the
head of Goliah in my hand: there was nothing to David like
Goliah's sword, even that sword that should have been sheathed in
his bowels; for the very sight and remembrance of that did preach
forth God's deliverance to him. Oh! the remembrance of my great
sins, of my great temptations, and of my great fear of perishing
for ever! They bring afresh into my mind, the remembrance of my
great help, my great supports from heaven, and the great grace that
God extended to such a wretch as I.

leave no corner therein unsearched for that treasure hid, even the
treasure of your first and second experience of the grace of God
towards you. Remember, I say, the word that first laid hold upon
you: remember your terrors of conscience, and fear of death and
hell: remember also your tears and prayers to God; yea, how you
sighed under every hedge for mercy. Have you never a hill Mizar to
remember? Have you forgot the close, the milk-house, the stable,
the barn, and the like, where God did visit your souls? Remember
also the word, the word, I say, upon which the Lord hath caused you
to hope: if you have sinned against light, if you are tempted to
blaspheme, if you are drowned in despair, if you think God fights
against you, or if heaven is hid from your eyes; remember it was
