Nay, when it is beaten out of the open field, by the power of God, and his Ordinances, then it hath strong Holds, as the Apostle tells us, 2 Cor. 10.4. and from thence fights against him, and opposeth him; there it lusts against him, it wills against him, the heart riseth against him.
When sin is beaten out of the field, yet a long time it will be, before it be beaten out of strong Holds.
When sin in Practise is overcome and conquered, yet sin in Affection is hard to be overcome: That Contrariety that is between God and your Heart is hard to be conquered.
It will cost you many a battle, many an assault, before you can conquer sin in its strong Holds, overcome sin in the Heart.
It will cost you many a battel, many an assault, before you can conquer sin in its strong Holds, overcome sin in the Heart.
