1. The heart will tell us sin is but small, and being small, it is venial.
2. The heart will apologize for sin, masking over bad transactions with golden pretences.
3. The heart will tell a man he may keep his sin, and keep his Religion too. 2 Kings 17.33. They feared the Lord, and served their own gods. The heart will secretly suggest to a man thus, as long as he goes to Church, and gives alms, he may secretly indulge corruption; as if duty gave a man a Patent and License to sin.
