1. It is the safest condition: never do the Saints take hurt, but by declining, moving from their centre: while at their centre the Devil cannot touch them; departing thence, is like the poor Bird from her nest, every one hath a fling at them. Remember this, let but a man once leave his Scriptural station, and what temptation is he able to stand against: it is just like a man thrown down from the top of an house, no stopping till he come to the bottom. 1 Joh 5. 18. He that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and the wicked one toucheth him not.
