Your ardent love is cooled intercourse with heaven is slight and by slow degrees, and almost unperceived, Emmanuel leaves Heart-castle; and the prince of the power of the air promotes the treason, and foments rebellion, by the introduction of loose thoughts, under the name of harmless mirth.
Who can calculate the worth of his immortal soul, that God himself should pay so costly a price for its redemption! May the desire of every reader be, O that my soul may be engaged in this holy war, my ears be alarmed by the infernal drum of Diabolus, that my Heart-castle may receive the King of salvation, and Christ be found there the hope of glory.
In addition to this is a whole length figure of the author, with a representation of Heart-castle on his left breast; the town of Mansoul, behind, being partly seen through him; Emmanuel and his army on the heart side, and Diabolus with his dragons on his right.
In this extremity, prayers are incessantly offered up to Emmanuel; but, for a long time, they can obtain no satisfactory answers. Both parties are on the alert; but Diabolus finds it impossible, either by treachery or by storming with his legion of doubts, to gain possession of Heart-castle.
'God's ways are not our ways. All our anxious inquiries should be, Is Emmanuel in Heart-castle? is he 'formed in me the hope of glory? do I live and believe in him who has immutably decreed that 'whosoever' be he rich or poor, learned or unlearned if he 'liveth and believeth in me, shall never die? It matters not, as to my salvation, whether the siege was long or short.
