- 1Direct. 44.
§. 114. Direct. 45. Take heed of security, and Satan's ambushments. Distinguish between cessation 1and conquest. You conquer not every time that you have rest and quietness from temptation: Till the sin be hated, and the contrary grace or duty in practice, you have not at all overcome: And when that's done, yet trust not the Devil or the flesh; nor think the war will be shorter than your lives: For one assault will begin where the former ended. Make use of every cessation but to prepare for the next encounter.
