Neither is this all, for every active assent is not sufficient to 1denominate dominion; a man may be on a sudden circumvented, he may be under the quickness and strength of a temptation, he may be so over-born by sudden passion, that possibly he may assent, and approve a sin in respect of the fact, in this or that particular, for this and that time, as a true subject (suppose one of Davids) not understanding all thing aright, not pausing, was drawn to the conspiracy on Absaloms side, so a Christian, in whom sin hath not a proper dominion, he may on a sudden be so ensnared by sin and temptation, ⟨p. 106⟩that he gives way unto it, yet afterwards he returns to himself, and condemns his own act by sound repentance.

- 1Assent is either precipitated or deliberated.
