Has it not infected you? Examine yourself honestly and closely. Do you not do now, what you dared not have done when you were under the law, or (as we commonly call it) under conviction? For instance. You dared not then indulge yourself in food. You took just what was needful, and that of the cheapest kind. Do you not allow yourself more latitude now? Do you not indulge yourself a little more than you did? O beware, lest you sin, because you are not under the law, but under grace!

*Has it not infected you? Examine yourself honestly and closely. Do you not do now, what you durst not have done when you was under the law, or (as we commonly call it) under conviction? For instance. You durst not then indulge yourself in food. You took just what was needful, and that of the cheapest kind. Do you not allow yourself more latitude now? Do you not indulge yourself a little more than you did? O beware, lest you sin, because you are not under the law, but under grace!
