Which may serve to discern our estate in grace;1 if we belong to God, though such noisome imaginations rise, yet notwithstanding ⟨p. 134⟩there is a contrary principle of grace alway in Gods children that checks them, at the least afterwards, if not presently. Such noisome thoughts as these rule, and reign in carnal men: for they take scandal at Gods government, and they judge indeed that the ways of wicked men are happy: they have false principles, and they frame their course of life to such false principles, and rules: from cherishing atheistical doubts of Gods providence, and the like. It is far otherwise with Gods children: there are conflicts in them; but there is a recovery, they check them presently; they have Gods spirit, and the seed of grace in them, that is never extinct.
