Let us therefore take heed of making any way to this sin,¹ and of provoking God to cast us clean over into Satan's power, or rather to suffer us to give up our selves wholly unto Satan. For the preventing hereof, let the directions here following be carefully observed.

1 Be watchful against every sin,¹ yea against the very beginnings of sin.² Give no place to the Devil. Take heed left there be at any time in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, ³in departing from the living God. Especially let us take heed of sinning against our own judgement and knowledge, against the persuasion of our heart and conscience, and against the revelation and motion of Gods Spirit in us. Sin is deceitful, and Satan is subtle. They allure men step by step to descend, till by degrees they bring us into this irrecoverable downfall of the sin against the Holy Ghost.

1 Be watchfull against euery sin,¹
