3. This should teach us to be watchful, and not to think our labour is at an end when we are in the 1state of grace; for sin still dwelleth in us, and though we have the victory over sin one day, it will fight against us the next day: as in a garden the weeds will grow, because the roots are not quite plucked up, and taken away; so sin is in us, and therefore we must think it will fight against us and vex us; and therefore I say, let us renew our strength.
