The sinners last sentence to eternal punishment, for sins of omission

3. I answer, that no Duties are unseasonable, when more good than hurt is done by the present performance of them. To reprove our Neighbour offending is a Duty; yet if I knew that my reproving him at this time would make him curse and swear, and sin more against God, I would defer it till another time; but if I thought that I should not have another season to do it in, and that present Reproof would only put him into a little pet or passion at present, ⟨p. 452⟩but afterwards probably he would consider it to his advantage, I would embrace the present opportunity. He that will omit that Duty till all things concur to his mind for the performance of it, must never perform it. There is hardly a step to be taken in our Journey towards Heaven, but there is a block in the way to make us stumble at it, or go aside for it: That if I will observe the Wind, I must not sow at all.

4. I answer, Take heed that this pretence of the unseasonableness of Duties be not a device of the flesh, and a wile of the Devil, to cloak and cover thy unwillingness to performance of them. It's easy to find some shift for every sin; and truly there is none thou canst live in, but Satan and thy own heart together will help thee to sufficient grounds for them. Scarce any are gone to Hell without some reason on their side for going thither.
