Presumptuous sins are the bold darings, and proud adventurings of the heart upon things or ways known to be unlawful against express 1threatenings, either upon a false confidence, or upon contemptuous slighting, or desperate wilfulness: I have in this description not only expressed the nature of presumptuous sinnings, but also concluded in it the several degrees and risings ⟨p. 55⟩thereof: all which, give me now liberty to open and explain: consider therefore.
