Romans7:19

Verſe 19. For the good, &c.] Nature, like Eve and Jobs wife is alwaies drawing us from God. As the ferry-man plies the oar, and eyes the ſhore homeward, where he would be, yet there comes a guſt of winde that carries him back again: ſo it is with a Chriſtian. Corruption edg'd with a temptation, gets as it were the hill, and the winde, and, upon ſuch advantages, too oft prevaileth.
