It is our complaint against ourselves to thee, the Lord, that thou art ever teaching us, and yet we learn nothing; or if we learn anything, yet we come not to the perfyte knowledge of the truth. When thou art drawing near to us, then we draw back from thee; and when thou puts forth thy hand to fetch us to thee, we come; but presently we start back again at the first heat of tentation, and then we never stay, but runs back still, till we be where we were first again. And, whilk is worst of all, we consider not of the danger of this estate of ours. Surely, if now we return to our former sins, we do greatly dishonour thee, and we weary thee, who is the physician of our souls. When thou are applying plasters to our souls, we rug (tear) them aff again; and when thou art giving to us potions of physick, we vomit them up again; and thus we do greatly dishonour thee, and lightly (set light by) thy mercy offered. And, by returning to our sin, we give a bad example to others, and we put ourselves in a worse case than we were in at the first; for this returning to sin is like the returning of the ill spirit, with so many worse spirits nor himself, and so is worse to be dispossessed than it was before. And therefore, good Lord, when thou has anes gotten a grip of us, and apprehended us when we were running away from thee, let not the grip gang again, but hold it fast, and draw us nearer to thee. And when we are anes entered into a good course, let us see what is to hinder us from walking into it, and that if we go back again, we go back to hell; and if so be that we go fordward in it, then we go on from grace to grace, and so from comfort to comfort.
