A godly man may commit a sin which he hath confessed, but yet he retains a fear and awe upon his heart, that it shall not prevail over him in his practice.
A godly man may commit a sin which he hath confest, but yet he retains a fear and awe upon his heart, that it shall not prevail over him in his practice.
Wicked men confess sin they have committed, yet they are bold and adventurous to commit the same sin again which they have confessed.
Wicked men confess sin they have committed, yet they are bold and adventurous to commit the same sin again which they have confest.
And thus the Harlot did, Prov. 7. 14. I have peace-offerings with me, this day I have payed my vows. Paying the vow, is a confession that I am in debt to God for my sin; and I owe God homage and service▪ yet she made the confession of sin to be a means to provoke her to be more bold and adventurous in her wickedness. To confess drunkenness, and afterwards to be drunk; to confess profaneness, and afterwards to be profane; this is the bold adventurousness of wicked men: Thus Pharaoh in Exod. 9. confessed his sin, and afterwards when the plagues were over, runs into the same sin he did confess: and this is the badge and portraiture of a wicked man. And thus I have done with this fourth particular.
