Davids example should be no encouragement, shall be no excuse to those who willingly fall often into the same sin. A good man is not privileged from doing it, but no man is privileged to do it. Such examples must not teach us to sin, but they teach us how unable we (alone) are to keep our selves from sin: they teach us also, what need we have to depend upon, and look up to Christ, that we may be kept from sin: if he leave us but a little unto our selves, the flesh will discover much of it self, and we shall quickly show what our natures are, though we are renewed by grace. We must trust to the supplies, not to the receipts of grace.
