N ow when I came back from him, the con sideration of his words took fast hold on me, that I could not go from under them; and the more I waited in that light that he recommend 'ed me to, the more my former peace, and that in which I formerly took comfort, was broken; and herein I came to see, that our former build ing could not stand, for we built upon that which the apostle called wood, hay, and stubble. Here I came to a loss of all my former know ledge; and my former performances proved but a sandy foundation. Then I did, with much humility and poverty of spirit, beg of Almighty God, that I might build upon that rock, that the true church of Christ was built upon, that the gates of hell might not prevail against me.
