Warning Professors of the Utmost Dangers of Apostasy

This teaches us to hold in the reins of all manner of evil lusts, and to do what we can to keep them down. Be far from spurring them forth. We do too oft and too much grieve the Spirit of God, in our greatest watchfulness , and that by reason of our spiritual weakness, proneness to sin, and temptations.
whereunto we are subject. Let us not add drunkenness to thirst,' Deut. xxix. 19 , nor draw on sin with
cart-ropes , ' Isa . v. 18. Let us not turn weakness
into wilfulness , nor infirmity into obstinacy. We
pray that God would not lead us into temptation ;
shall we cast ourselves thereinto ?
