10 Those things never hurt us which grieve us: but those things hurt us which grieu[…]us not. A sure experiment it is, whether that sin wherewith we are tempted oftentimes •hal1 get the dominion over us or not; If the oftener it tempteth us, the more we are grieved a• it, and the more ground we get to the contrary virtue, it shall not reign. But if the first coming of sin wrought a grief in us, and by the after and oftener coming our grief be less and less, it is much to be feared, that in time it will prevail, and utterly overcome us.
