Secondly, If some wise and learned men go that way, ignorant and unlearned men conclude they may.
Thirdly, If any godly men, such as make more then ordinary profession, do such things, then who may not? The failings of the Saints are a countenance to wicked men in their follies. They are apt to follow the dark side of the cloud, and to approve those in what they do ill, whom they scorn in what they do well. They imitate their falls and sins, whose repentance they never think of imitating. How many harden their hearts by their doing what is evil, whose hearts have been broken, because they did evil? From the sin which a holy man commits against his purpose and resolution, many purpose and resolve to commit it.
