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.

But if as soon as he get a little strength he fall into a new Relapse, we reckon his case very doubtful, if not desperate.
