4. Take heed of returning again to ¹sin after God hath returned thy prayers into thy bosom. Psal. 85. 8. I will hear what the Lord God will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, but let them not turn again to folly. It would be both sin and folly in thee to return to sin after God hath given thee an answer of peace. This was Davids resolution for his own particular. Psal. 6. ²8. Depart from me all you workers of iniquity: Why, what is the reason? The Lord hath heard the voice of my supplication. As if David had said, O ye wicked men, you have been occasions of sin to me, and companions in sin with me, but how that God hath been thus gracious to me, now that God hath graciously returned my prayers, I will have no more to do with you; Depart from me; yea workers of iniquity. And so much for the negative Cautions.
