Christ Did Not Die For Any Upon

So Great An Advantage Is Given To Sin And Satan By Your Temper And Disposition, That Without Extraordinary Watchfulness, Care, And Diligence, They Will Prevail Against Your Soul.

The Indulgence Of One Sin Opens The Door To Further Sins. The Indulgence Of One Sin Diverts The Soul From The Use Of Those Means By Which All Other Sins Should Be Resisted.

Sin Also Carries On Its War By Entangling The Affections And Drawing Them Into An Alliance Against The Mind. Grace May Be Enthroned In The Mind, But If Sin Controls The Affections, It Has Seized A Fort From Which It Will Continually Assault The Soul. Hence, As We Shall See, Mortification Is Chiefly Directed To Take Place Upon The Affections.

When Sin Lets Us Alone We May Let Sin Alone; But As Sin Is Never Less Quiet Than When It Seems To Be Most Quiet, And Its Waters Are For The Most Part Deep When They Are Still, So Ought Our Contrivances Against It To Be Vigorous At All Times And In All Conditions, Even Where There Is Least Suspicion.

Whatever Vices And Corruptions Men See In The Lives Of Their Ministers Will Not Be Attributed To The Depravity Of Their Old Nature Which Still Abides In Them, But To The Gospel.
