A. After pardon men are prove to fall again. Otherwise there were no need for such as have assurance of the pardon of sin to pray against temptation, or for deliverance from evil. As woeful experience in all Saints, even the best that ever lived, doth verify the truth hereof, so also the daily sacrifices which under the Law were appointed. For every propitiatory sacrifice gave the believer assurance of a full discharge for his sins, yet after one was offered up, another, and another, time after time was to be offered.^a He that is washed needeth not, save to wash his feet. His feet therefore need to be washed. And why should he that is justified need to wash his feet, if he were not subject to foul them again and again?
