92. On Assurance.
Assurance that Christ is ours may be gain'd,The Saints have it desir'd, to it attain'd;
Some more, some less, there are degrees we know
Sometimes it ebbs, always it doth not flow.
Assistance (which few have) is a rare Gem.
God from his people, for to humble them,
Sometimes withdraws it, through our carelesness
Sometimes we want it, and our Christian peace.
O how the dev'l disturbs! when once we meet
With this Assurance, oh tis very sweet!
W'oft hang our harps upon the limber willows,
And weep (as Isr'el) by the water-billows
For want of this; this Wine of Paradise,
Revives the heart, how comfortable is
Gods smile! Assurance makes the low sublime,
And puts a man in heav'n before his time.
Assurance is exceeding profitable;
It makes a Christian strenuous and able
For service, free to do what must be done.
Faith makes a Christian walk, Assurance run.
32
In a pure heart, a spring whence comfort flows:
A Whetstone to the Graces, Hope, Love, Zeal;
A weight that of obedienre moves each Wheel,
Be much in duty; keep thy consc'ence pure,
Act faith, and thou hast made thy calling sure.
