This man feeleth the infirmity of his ⟨p. 230⟩flesh; he findeth a proneness in himself to be desperate: now he chides with God, Flings and Tumbles like a Wild Bull in a net, and still the guilt of all returns upon himself, to the Crushing of him to pieces; Yet he feeleth his heart so hard, that he can find, as he thinks, no kind falling under any of his Miscarriages. Now he is a lump of confusion in his own eyes, whose Spirit, and Actions are without order.

Temptations serve the Christian, as the Shepherds dogs serveth the silly sheep, that is coming behind the flock; he runs upon it, pulls it down, worry it, wound it, and grievously bedabbleth it with dirt and wet in the lowest places of the Furrows of the field: And not leaving it, until it is half dead; nor then neither, except God rebuke.
