Sinnes of infirmity, how to be known from other sins. [ 1041]
A Traveller in his journey,* 1.1 thinks of nothing so much as his journies end, if he stumble by the way, that's against his will, and more then he intended;* 1.2 And if he chance to get a fall, or to go out of his way, he rests not till he be up, and in a∣gain. So look but upon a Hunter, he hath no design to follow his way at all, whe∣ther in the way or out of the way, his mind is upon the game; An Archer bends his how, delivers his arrow, and though it fall short or over, on one side or other, his aim was at the mark: Thus it is with the Children of God, their aime is at Heaven, their thoughts upon Zion,* 1.3 their looks towards Ierusalem, and their facc•••• thitherward; and if there be any aberrations, or turning aside, it is no more they, but Sin that dwelleth in them:* 1.4 Non sic Impii non sic, it is not so with the ungodly, they have no such design at Gods glory, the desire of their hearts is the satisfaction of their lusts and sinfull pleasures, they aim at nothing else but Sin, and so in the end reap the wretched fruit of their own wicked wayes.
