The thing to be discerned and kept always in view by the instructor is, that not for the sake of any thing in us, disposition, desire, feeling, joy, love, sorrow, &c., but for the sake of what Christ hath done, we must be accepted. Otherwise, our people will be looking for a Christ in themselves, not a Christ in heaven, and so will either be deceived or discomforted. In a word, the endeavour must be, that the person to be instructed be brought at all times and in all cases, in all frames, high as well as low, and low as well as high, in all attainments, and in all spiritual temptations to rest on Christ only, and so to give God glory by believing.
