Why,1 they were convinced before of the evil of them, for so in the former words, Now shall they be found guilty, they shall acknowledge themselves guilty in contending so much for them; well, but saith God, though you are convinced of your guiltiness, yet that's not enough, I'll break them down, for otherwise if they do remain, they may be snares unto you afterwards.

- 1Expos. 2.
From whence then the Note is:1 That though men be convinced of an evil, yet if the temptation shall still abide, they will be ready to fall to it again. Wherefore to prevent that evil, the temptations are to be taken away as much as we can, (saith he) I will take away the temptation; you acknowledge your selves guilty when my hand is upon you, but you will fall to it again if the temptation be not taken away.
