2. God shields off spiritual evils from his children: Psal. 91.10. There shall no evil befall thee. God doth not say, no afflictions shall befall us, but no evil.
Quest. Quest. But sometimes evil in this sense befalls the godly, they spot themselves with sin.
Answ. Answ. But that evil shall not be mortal; as quicksilver is in it self dangerous, but by ointments it is so tempered that it is killed; so sin is in it self deadly, but being tempered with Repentance, and mixed with the sacred ointment of Christs blood, the venomous damning nature of it is taken away.
