42 Whensoever we come to a general promise of outward things, we must not take1 it so universally as admitting no exception, but know, that outward promises do so far extend, as they stand with God his glory and our good, as also that either some sin, or some failing in obedience, or the want of saith, or trial of faith, may suspend the performance of them.

43 We must learn by o•r outward senses to espy our inward corruptions. For why1 doth my sense l•ade me to this sin, but because mine heart hath led my sense, and my corruption hath stolen away mine heart? or why doth my sense help me in this good, but that my heart hath governed my senses, and God his Spirit hath guided mine heart? our outward senses will bewray our inward affections. For look what I love, I am ready to hear of it, I am willing to see it; look what I love not, I care not to see it, I esteem not to hear of it.
