Although ⟨p. 3⟩I am subject to many sins of various sorts, yet under them all I can and do maintain my Integrity and Covenant Uprightness in walking with God; and where I fail am kept within the reach of cleansing and pardoning mercy continually administered unto my Soul by Jesus Christ. But there is a state of Life in this World wherein Sin hath dominion over the Soul; acting it self presumptuously, wherewith Integrity and Freedom from condemning guilt are inconsistent.
