Oh! stand against the beginning of sin what you can, 1keep a trembling frame at the beginning. Oh! had this people done so! at the first they trembled; Oh! had they but kept that trembling heart continually, it would have kept them from abundance of evil: And so, do not some of you remember that there hath been a heart trembling at the very thought, of those things that it may be some of you now practice? Oh! happy had it been for you that you had kept your trembling frame. And you that are young beginners, in whose heart there 2is a trembling frame, you tremble at temptations, you tremble at the thoughts of sin, at the first rising of corruption in your hearts, Oh keep this trembling frame, and do not regard that boldness of spirit that there is in some, some are always so frolic, and so bold in their way, Oh but that's a dangerous condition for you to be in; but rather keep a trembling heart, fearing sin, for if you lose that and begin but to tamper with some sin, if the Devil tamper thus with you, 100. to one but when you are once gone, you will go more and more, and never leave tumbling till you come into the pit.
