[ 231] Little sins, if not prevented, bring on greater, to the ruine of the soul.
THieves, when they go to rob a house,* 1.1 if they cannot force the dores, or that
the wall is so strong, they cannot break through, then they bring little boyes
along with them, and these they put in at the windowes; who are no sooner in, but
they unbolt the doors, and let in the whole company of Thieves. And thus Sathan,* 1.2
when by greater sins he cannot tell how to enter the soul, then he puts on, and makes
way by lesser, which insensibly having got entrance, set open the doores of the eyes,
and the doors of the ears, then comes in the whole rabble; there they take up their
quarters, there, like unruly souldiers, they rule, domineer, and do what they list, to
the ruine of the soul so possessed.
