4. Sin puts a Child of God upon self-conflicting. Spiritual-self conflicts with carnal-self, Gal. 5.17. The Spirit lusts against the flesh. Our life is a wayfaring life, and a warfaring life; there is a duel fought every day between the two Seeds: A Believer will not let sin have peaceable possession: If he cannot keep sin out, he will keep sin under • though he cannot quite overcome, yet he is overcoming, ⟨p. 62⟩Rev. 2.7. [Greek or Hebrew], to him that is overcoming.

5. Sin puts a Child of God upon self-observing: He knows sin is a Bo•om-Traitor, therefore narrowly observes himself. A subtle heart needs a watchful eye.

A Believer hath a strict eye over himself, least he fall into any scandalous enormity, and so open a sluice to let all his comfort run out.
