In case that you do at any time fall into sin, say, Well, but through the Grace of God, though I commit what is evil, I will never oppose what is good; by the Grace of God, I will carry this Rule along with me, Though I commit what is evil, I will never oppose what is good.

And if heretofore, Christian, thou hast found God breathing upon thy heart, in any Ordinance, public, or private,¹ or in any Way of God, take heed (as for thy life) that thou dost never speak evil, or blaspheme that way of God, wherein thou hast sound the Spirit of God breathing: This Sin is always accompanied with invidentia fratrum, with the envy of the Saints, and therefore some have thought the Sin against the Holy Ghost did consist in it, in the envying of the Saints; but though that be not it, yet that accompanies it. Canst thou not find thy own heart rise to those heights of Graces that others do, take heed you never envy the Saints, lest you fall from envying those that are good, to oppose Goodness it self, which is the proper Work of the Holy Ghost.
