Day 20: On the Relapsing Sinner
"Consider, first, that if one mortal sin be so heinous a treason against the sovereign majesty of God, as we have seen in the foregoing chapter; if every such sin be an abomination to our Lord, and the death of that unhappy sinner who is guilty of it, what must we think of the miserable condition of relapsing sinners, that is, of such Christians as are continually relapsing again and again into the same mortal sins, after repeated confessions and solemn promises of amendment? Alas! what can we otherwise think, but that by this method of life they are treasuring up to themselves wrath against the day of wrath; which will in all appearance, sooner or later, draw down the dreadful vengeance of God upon their guilty heads. Because by every relapse their crime is aggravated, and their latter condition becomes worse than the former."
