40 We are never the further from temptation for misliking it, but the nearer, unless1 as in judgement we mislike it, so in affection we humble our selves in fear and prayer, as knowing that in time it may invade us.

41 Though o•ten we speak of things lawful, yet we want wisdom in examining the1 ti••• pl••e, ••• persons, when, where, and with whom we talk; and so Satan laboureth to m•ke us silent, when we might speak to Gods glory. For the avoiding of this temptation we must speak when GOD giveth us occasion, being thankful for the good motions of Gods spirit; and humbled for our weakness, whereby both our speeches are most stained, and we fail in many circumstances. Then doing it in singleness of hear•, only for the love of Gods word, and of his glory, let us wholly commit the success (wh••h depends not on us, though we observe all circumstances,) to the blessing of God in Jesus Christ.
