For David cried out in the bitterness of his soul, that his sin was ever before him, and then his sanctification was out of his sight, and that God had forgotten to be gracious but I said saith he, this is my infirmity. In which words, Davids confessing of his sin, which is a• act of […] is joined with his quarrelling with God, […] had been ⟨p. 198⟩a changed God, Psal. 77. and of both it is said, that David said, This is my infirmity, or my sin. Now if he spake not of both, the words can bear no sense; and if so, confession of sin, (and by the same reason, repenting of sin) must be a sinful infirmity. How then can Saltmarsh acknowledge grace or fruits of the Spirit, except he acknowledge grace in sinning, which were absurd.
