15. It is as certain that he who is born of God doth not commit sin, so as to make a trade of it, returning to his Vomit: But he that is born of God keepeth himself, 2and the wicked one toucheth him not. He hath paid too dear for such a miscarriage, it was not so light a matter to lye under Gods wrath, lose his former peace, nor was his comfort so soon restored, and Gods favour regained, that he should hazard all anew, and buy Repentance at so dear a rate.

16. Very dreadful is that threat of God: If there be among you man or woman—or a root that beareth gall and wormwood: And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this Curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of my heart, adding drunkenness to thirst. The Lord will not spare him, but the Anger of the Lord and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this Book shall lye upon him, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven. And the Lord shall separate (and single him out) unto evil, &c.
