1. Such as are still with their sins. A child of God, though sin be with him, yet he is not with sin, his will is against sin; ⟨p. 307⟩Rom. 7.15. 1That which I do I allow not; he would fain shake this viper into the fire; he forsakes sin, but sin will not forsake him, so that though sin be with him; yet he is not with sin; but a wicked man, and sin are together, as two Lovers mutually solacing and embracing; a wicked man is [Greek or Hebrew], a Worker of iniquity, Luke 13.27. like a workman that follows his Trade in his Shop.
