If we be fallen into any sin, let us seek to this wellspring for remedy against it: for as it preserveth some from entering into Satan's nets, so it will be a means to others to bring them forth, God thereby giving them repentance that they may know the trueth, and that they may come to amendment out of the snare of the devil. 2. Tim. 2. 25. 26. But it is sit that we make all possible speed to procure our liberty, because the longer we continue in the net, the more we shall be entangled, and with greater difficulty get out. This holy direction is given to rash sureties which are come 1into the hands of their neighbours, whose state is ensnared with the words of their mouths, that they should hasten as fast to avoid that danger, as the nimble hart runneth from the hunter, or the swift bird flieth from the fowler, and not sleep upon it one night, before they have obtained their indemnity, much more then it concerneth them which are fallen into the hands of satan, & of Gods ⟨p. 41⟩justice, and be subject to eternal death to bestir them, and not suffer one moment to pass, before they labour effectually for their freedom.
