First, To take away that great plea that most carnal hearts have, whereby they put off the power of the Word from their hearts, and are secure in their sinful ways. Why, say they, can we be without sin? are the best without sin upon them? now because none are without sin, therefore they think to put it off, and grow secure; and upon this very thought, put off abundance of truths that they heard preached out of the word, that doth them no good at all, and merely upon this Reason. Now were it that this plea were but taken from them, the word might prevail a great deal more upon them.

Now therefore, I hope before we have done this Scripture, I shall weaken, if not wholly take away that plea that secure-sinners have for themselves, because all have their sins: I shall show thee, that there is a great deal of ⟨p. 7⟩difference, perhaps, between thy sin, and the sins of a Child of God.
