The spirit of a good man is set against all that is evil, he cannot close nor comply with it.
The spirit of a good man is set against all that is evill, he cannot close nor comply with it.
His understanding assenteth not to it, his will chooseth it not, his conscience cannot swallow it, though not a camel, but a gnat, the least of sin-evils, much less doth he give himself up to the free and customary practise of great sins. A good man may well be said, not to know to sin, because though he knoweth the nature of all sins, yet he knowingly declines the doing of every sin. I know not to give flattering titles, In so doing my Maker would soon take me away.
