§. 11. Of all the parts of Righteousnesse vnited.
IF the devil cannot by any means bring us wholly to reject all Righteousness,1 he will endeavour to make us careless in some parts thereof, or at least negligent in taking the present opportunity: as if it were sufficient only in somethings to be righteous, becausea God is merciful to forgive us all our defaults: or upon our death-beds to turn from our unrighteousness, becauseb When the wicked turneth away from his wickedness, he shall save his soul alive. Herewith in all ages he hath beguiled many thousands.
