As Naaman entreated for one sin: that he might stand before the Idol when his Lord leaned upon his shoulder: So this sin, and that sin will not let us pass the compass of almost, lest we should have a perfect reward.
Goe away and sinne no more, because thou art healed. Nay, goe away and sinne againe because thou art healed. As Naaman intreated for one sinne: that he might stand before the Idoll when his Lorde leaned vppon his shoulder: So this sinne, and that sinne will not let vs passe the compasse of almost, lest we should haue a perfect reward.
God would have nothing so perfect as a Christian, for whom he hath given his well beloved ⟨p. 931⟩Son, his spirit, his Law, and his prophets, That the man of God may be perfect, as Paul saith. Yet every thing grows until it be perfect, the builder builds till it be an house: The Tailor soweth till it be a garment: The painter paints till it be a picture: Only the Christian leaves off before he attain to be a Christian, and makes a full period at almost.
