3. It is endless and restless; never quiet conquering nor conquered; it gives not over, but rebels being overcome, or assaults afresh having prevailed. Oft-times after a victory obtained, and an opposition subdued, the soul is in expectation of Rest and Peace from its enemies. But this holds not. It works and rebels again and again, and will do so whilst we live in this world; so that no issue will be put to our conflict but by ⟨p. 357⟩death. This is at large handled elsewhere, in a Treatise lately published on this peculiar subject.
