Sometimes it is to prevent the Reproach of their Consciences. They have experience that when they carry orderly, they have not such Reflections as at other times, their hearts don't twit them, nor revile them. They are more quiet within and can vindicate themselves, but if at any time they are extravagant, it perplexes them afterward, & they have a storm within; their Consciences upbraid them, and embitter their comforts, their carriages look ugly and base, Judg. 17.2. And so they resist Temptation.

The Scripture is full of Instances of Judgment on particular Persons for sinful carriages, and they dare not fall in with Temptation least the wrath of God should break out against them, and least they should perish for ever. Job 31.23. Destruction from God was a terror unto me.
