2. A second sort that dishonour the grace of God, are such that though they fall not into the same gross sins again after pardoning mercy, yet are negligent in the ways of God; loose, slight, v•in, sensual, carnal, dead-hearted in their conversation, and do not answer the grace of God revealed to them, but are more ⟨p. 118⟩drossy in their spirits than before; It may be for the time wherein they were seeking this grace of God, they were strict in their conversation, in their ways conscientious; and in every thing walked close with God, durst not for their lives omit a known duty, attended on the Word with a great deal of patience, their hearts closed with it, and it was as meat and drink unto them; and in their conversation they were very fruitful in the places where they lived: But now having had some comfortable assurance of Gods mercy pardoning them, after this they are grown slight, vain, loose, and dead hearted; this is a very grievous evil where ever it may be charged: It is a very great evil for any to abuse Gods general Bounty, Patience, and Long-sufferance, and the good we receive from God in the use of the creature; but far worse to abuse the grace of God in Christ, manifested in pardoning mercy: I shall show this to be a great evil, and shall labour to convince you of it.
