CHAP. VII.
_The necessity of diligently seeking the Saint's Rest._
This rest is surprisingly neglected, 118
by the worldly minded, ibid
the profane multitude, 120
Formal professors, 121

whether magistrates, ministers, 123
or people, 124

and excites the reader to diligence by many considerations, 126
Awakening questions proposed to the ungodly, 133
and also to the godly. 137
