You are (thirdly) to consi∣der, that when reconciled and converted unto God, you still remain a man; and that there is no Repentance so great, as that it entirely destroys all sin.

And therefore in the greatest as∣surance of your condition, have always in mind that advice of the Apostle,* 1.1 Let him that thinks be stands, take heed lest he fall. And when you find you are fal∣len, presently raise up your self again by faithful Repentance. The more you are advanced and confirmed in Holiness, the more you will distrust your self, and be watchful against Temptations. After holy resolutions and trans∣ports of Zeal and Devotion, it often happens that men commit great sins; because the Consci∣ence is apt to be less wary, as thinking it self secure: like the besieged, who after a brave Sally, grow negligent; and by con∣temning the Enemy they have re∣pulsed, are surprized through their own carelesness. Conscience may, but Satan can never sleep, nor fail to take advantage of your Security.
