Now mark it, there are two of these voices (more especially) which if a man will neglect and slight, a thousand to one, but he will fall to be a presumptuous sinner, viz.
1. The voice of the Word, Prov. 29. 1. He that being often reproved, hardened his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
2. The voice of conscience: when the conscience shall concur with the word, in its informing acts, and in its directing acts, and in its warning acts, and in its restrictive acts, and in its corrective and judicial acts, (i.) it shall point the way, or fact, in the evil, and unlawful quality of it, and strive, ⟨p. 92⟩and reason, and fret, and reprove, and threaten, yea, and speak bitterly, yet a man will go on, I say, this man hastens to some great sin, to presumptuous sinnings.
