This sort of Desertions, though it be but for a time, yet no part of a Christian mans life is free from them: and very often taking deep place in the heart of man, they are of long continuance. David continued in his dangerous fall about the space of an whole year before he was recovered. Luther confesseth of himself, that after his conversion, he lay three years in desperation. And common experience in such like cases can make record of longer time.

The maner, God vseth in forsaking his owne seruants, is of two sorts: the first is by taking away one grace and putting another in the roome; the second, by hiding his grace as it were in a corner of the heart.
God takes away his grace, and puts another in the room, divers ways.
