2. There is a false ease which many have gotten, that takes off the sense of this burden. They •hink they have gotten it removed, and that •leaseth them. Some are persuaded by Satan •o think there is no danger, God will not punish them for their Sins; and so their Guilt •oubleth them not; to such God speaks, in Isa. •4. 4. Fury is not in me: q. d. You think I will •ot punish you. Some think themselves well weltered under their refuges of lies, Isa. 28. 14. ⟨p. 52⟩Others please themselves with some legal work that hath past upon them, thinking that they have gotten a pardon, and that quiets them: or they rest upon their outward privileges, Crying The Temple of the Lord, which for the present keeps them from resenting their burden.
