2. There is strength against us from within. There is that in thy heart that will carry thee more violently from God, then the good motions in thee can bring thee to God, there is a forcible withdrawing of the heart from God.1 James 1. 14. Every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lust and enticed. When you have no will to do good, even then you have a will to do evil; nay there are 2wills of the flesh, and lusts of the flesh, shall we not have half a will for God, when we have many wills for sin? You see therefore it is not without good reason that we should be thus importunate in prayer. And so much for the fifth particular.
