If sin fore-seen were not able to hinder him from planting his heart on us: but though he saw what we would be, yet he loved us: How then shall it be able to over-turn the thoughts of his heart, when once they are fixed on us?

If sin fore-seen were not able to hinder him from planting his heart on us: but though hee saw what wee would bee, yet hee loved us: How then shall it bee able to over-turn the thoughts of his heart, when once they are fixed on us?

Men indeed are not able to see to the utmost of things; they are not able to discover and fore-see all the inconveniences and evils that may arise: and therefore that being discovered after, which was not fore seen before, may be a ground to alter their affections, and change their thoughts, when fixed. The less Judgement and fore-sight in men, the more fickleness, and changeableness in men.
