Secondly, To chew sin. This was Jobs character, that he was a man fearing God and chewing sin, Job 1. 8. This was Davids mark, that he did not regard iniquity in his heart Psalm 66. 8. This was that did comfort Paul, as the sure evidence of his sincerity, though he did evil many times, being overtaken with temptation, yet he allowed it not, Rom. 7. 18. Brethren, what is your greatest fear? do you study duty more than safety? do you fear sin more than danger? do you keep up a constant watch against sin, all sin, little sins, secret sins, heart sins, especially are you afraid of your constitution-sin, your sweet sin? And do you prosecute against this with double diligence?
