That soul doth but leap out of the Frying-pan into the fire, that thinks to mend himself by turning out of the way that is called holy. Oh! the horrid drudgery that is in the ways of sin, Satan, or the world. Thy worst day in Christs service, is better then thy best days (if I may so speak) in sin or Satan's service. Satan will pay the sinner home at last with the loss of God, Christ, Heaven, and his soul for ever: But in the way of righteousness is life, joy, peace, honour, and in the path-way thereof there is no death, Prov. 12. 28. His ways are ways of pleasantness, and all his paths are peace, Prov. 3. 17.
