Here also we are taught to mourn for the corruption of our nature, whereby we are prone to yield up our selves to every temptation of sin and Satan, and be slack and negligent in resisting: we do not watch and pray against temptations diligently, nor shun the occasions of sin, as we ought to do: nay, we offer our selves into temptation, and minister occasion unto Satan, and to our own corruption to assault us often. This we shall find to be true in our selves, if we search out throughly our own estate; and therefore it should grieve our hearts when we feel the law of our members rebelling against the law of our minds, and leading us captive into sin.
