2 To hear the threatenings and to tremble at them; to hear the promises and to believe1 them; to reverence the Sacraments and to receive them; to pray unto God in all our wants, and to be thankful for all his mercies, are ways to keep us from sin, and to recover us from sin when we are fallen thereinto. Therefore the neglect of these doth pull down judgements upon men: for though Paul rebuked the Corinthians of many sins,2 yet for this cause (saith he) some are asleep, some are sickly, &c. For if these had been used as they ought, sin should never have grown so far as it did.
