But for all this it is not lawful for any man from this will of God to take occasion of sinning the more freely,1 or deferring and casting of the time of his repentance. For that promise of the present & eternal grace of God pertaineth to such as live in true repentance and fear of God, not in carnal security. For all such as live securely are in danger to be forsaken & hardened by the just judgment of God, and dying without repentance, to perish everlastingly, but because of the uncertain continuance of this life, & especially because of Gods anger against such as with security & against con science abuse his mercy. Mat. 24. 28. If the evil servant shall say, my Lord delayeth his coming, &c. And v. 24. Watch, because ye know not the day & the hour &c. Rom. 2. 4. Or despisest thou the riches of his boū tie and patience? &c.
