Lastly, The strength, efficacy and power of this Law of Sin, may be farther evidenced from its life and in-being in the Soul, notwithstanding the wound that is given unto it, in the first conversion of the Soul to God; and the continual opposition that is made unto it by Grace. But this is the subject and design of another Endeavour.
It may now be expected, that we should here add the especial Uses of all this discovery that hath been made of the Power, Deceit, Prevalency and Success, of this great Adversary of our Souls. But as for what concerns that Humility, self-Abasement, Watchfulness, Diligence, and Application unto the Lord Christ for relief, which will become those who find in themselves by Experience the power of this Law of Sin, have been occasionally mentioned and inculcated through the whole preceding Discourse, so for what concerns the actual Mortification of it, I shall only recommend unto the Reader for his Direction, another small Treatise written long since unto that purpose, which I suppose he may do well to consider together with this, if he find these things to be his Concernment.
