6 He will accept of the Will for the Deed, because he knows that Sin will make our best Performances imperfect, 2 Cor. 8.12.
7. He will count our little a very great deal, for that he knows we are so unable to do any thing at all, Job 1.21.
8. He will excuse the Souls of his People, and lay the Fault upon their Flesh (which has greatest Affinity with Satan) if through Weakness and Infirmity we do not do as we should, Mat. 26.41. Rom. 7.
Now, as I said, all these things happen unto us, both Infirmities and Pity, because, and for that we were once in the Fire, and for that the Weakness of Sin abides upon us to this Day. But none of this Favour could come to us, nor could we, by any Means, cause that our Infirmities should work for us thu advantageously: But that Christ our Advocate stands our Friend, and pleads for us as he doth.
