Let us labour at least to have so much truth of goodness left in us, that if we should fall into any gross sin though never so secretly and without knowledge of it to any, yet we might be affected with sorrow in regard of the offence done to God, and so fall down before him and lament it, and confess it, and repent of it before him, and renew our purposes of amendment and she for pardon and help, which till we have done we are not recovered out of the snare of the Devil, but shall be carried into the same sin again and again, so often as he can present us with occasions. He that can let sin go lightly away if no natural evil follow from it, is either destitute of all graces or hath his graces much abated and enfeebled by the prevailing of corruption.
