CHAP. VIII.

_How to discern our title to the Saint's Rest._

Men's folly in not inquiring after a title to it, 139

Their cause for terror while destitute of it, 141

Self-examination is urged; 142

1. From the possibility of arriving at certainty, 143

2. From the hinderances to self-examination by Satan, ibid

by wicked men, 144

by our own hearts; 145

nor does self-examination soon bring assurance; 146

nor do all true Christians attain to it, ibid

3. From considering how easy, common, and dangerous it is to be

mistaken; that trying is safer than neglect; that God will

Do we heartily accept of Christ for our Lord and Savior? 156

The great importance of these two marks. 158
