7. Grieving the Spirit, causeth him to suspend his quickening influence; and then the Soul is in a dead and drowsy estate. Though the Children of God dare not quench the Spirit, yet they may grieve the Spirit, Eph. 4.30. The Conscience of a renewed man, after 'tis wounded by gross sins, may be a dead and stupefied Conscience for a long time: Witness David and Jonah.

8. Immoderate Liberty in worldly things: as worldly cares, and fleshly delights. Sobriety is necessary, or a sparing meddling with those worldly Comforts that do mightily indispose us for the Christian Warfare, 1 Pet. 2.7. Luk. 21.34. Take heed your hearts be not overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness. Look, as the multitude of gross vapours cast us into a sleep, so do these delights and cares stupefy the Soul. Psal. 119.37. Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity, and quicken thou me in thy way. You will need quickening if you give way to vanity.
