Thirdly, however, by this means it is discovered and it ⟨p. 216⟩is a good part of war to know the latitude of an enemies strength, to pry into his stratagems and contrivances. For the knowledge of sin will make us more earnest in mourning for it, more importunate in our prayers against it, more humble in our confessions of it, more unquiet till we be acquitted by the blood of Christ and his spirit from it, more urgent to lay hold upon the victories and promises of Christ against it. This is the sum of all, and a most sufficient encouragement.
