3. 1That Satan will assault you, and set in with sin for its re-admission. If he cannot keep you from resolving, yet he will lay hard at your heart to break your resolution: He will lay his snares and baits, and use his stratagems in sins behalf; and come to you as he did to our first Parents, Gen. 3.1. He (i. e. Satan) said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, ye shall not eat of every tree of the Garden? So Satan cometh unto thee, and saith, Yea, hast thou said, thou wilt not be kind unto thy sin any more? hast thou said, thou wilt be so severe against thine Iniquity? If thou reply, I have said, I will not keep my sin, lest ⟨p. 111⟩God be angry with me, and send some sorer Judgement upon me; he will return to thee, and say, God will not surely be angry with thee to plague thee, it may be thou mayst escape, or if thou yield now, thou mightest repent, and renew thy resolution against it again, do it but this once, take but the other Cup; play but the other game. If you be not careful to look to your Resolutions, when sin, Satan, and your own heart do set against you, you will certainly break them.
