I. It hindreth not in its self, as is clear by the ensuing Considerations:
1. That which hindereth him, is the weakness that came upon him by reason of Sin: Now God only made the Man, but mans listening to Satan made him a Sinner; which is the Cause of all his weakness: This therefore is it that hindereth him, and that also dis-enableth him in seeking the salvation of his Soul. Let no men say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted of evil, neither tempteth he any man. God made man upright, but he hath sought out many inventions. Ezek. 16.30. Jam. 1.10. Eccles. 7.29. Hos. 13.9. & 14.1. Gen. 3.8, 9, 10, 11.
