Again, This term work, seems opposed to the thought or concupiscence of the inner man; he withdraweth man from his work, that his hand may not effect what his heart hath contrived: that the bitter root may not bring forth evil and bitter fruit. Or if we follow our translation, the sense will be the same; He withdraweth man from his purpose, that is, he checks and stops the inward motions and workings of mans heart, and so keeps him from bringing it to perfection by an outward evil work. (Jam. 1.15.) Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin, and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death; God in great mercy takes man off from his purpose when he finds him upon an evil device or purpose; he crusheth the Cockatrice's egg that it may not be hatched, ⟨p. 298⟩and destroyeth the conception of those Babylonish brats that they may never come to the birth. (Mic. 2.1.) Woe to them that devise mischief on their beds, when the morning is light they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand. The work begins at the heart, there 'tis plotted and contrived; the heart is the work house of sin; now the Lord withdraws man from his purpose, and will not suffer the inward work to be accomplished by the outward work.
