9. There is no steady and full Enjoyment of this Spiritual Peace, without keeping up and maintaining a War against Sin; also this War is maintained by every Faculty; the whole Soul being united in carrying it on, and also against every Sin.1 Moreover it is a War in which the Soul by the Spirit prevails; Sin shall not have Dominion over you, 2&c. 'Tis a resolute War, or carried on with uttermost Revenge against Sin, and likewise always, even to the end of our Days;3 and if called to it, to resist unto Blood, striving against Sin. All, my Brethren, that have Peace with God, or are Reconciled to him, are at War with Sin, Satan, and the World, resolving never to be Reconciled to these Enemies, or be at Peace with one Sin whilst they live.
