9. 1What is this but to like of sin, and disapprove of strictness of holiness, after you have professed your dislike of sin, and approved of closest walking with God: In your affliction you seemed to be sorry for your sin, but now the affliction is over, you seem to be sorry that you were sorry for your sin; in your affliction you seemed to repent that you had sinned, else why did you resolve against it? When your affliction is removed, you seem to repent of your resolutions against sin, else why do not you live and do as you did resolve? what is this but to smile upon sin after your deliverance, which you seemed to frown upon in time of danger of death and the grave? What is this but to find sweetness in sin after you have tasted something of the bitterness of it? To re-embrace that which you seemed to have cast from you? and this is an aggravation of the evil frame of your heart.
