 religiously affected had true grace, and was therein the subject of the saving influences of the Spirit of God. Therefore, the right way is to distinguish, among religious affections, between one sort and another. Let us now endeavour to do this, by noticing, in the first place, some <html:i>things, which are no signs that affections are gracious, or that they are not.</html:i></html:p>
