Before we proceed to the remaining evidence of the power and efficacy of the law of sin, we shall take occasion, from what hath been delivered, toadvert to one consideration that offers itself from that scripture, which was made the bottom and foundation of our discourse of the general deceitfulness of sin, namely, James i. 14. The apostle tells us, that " lust conceiving brings forth sin;" seeming to intimate, that whatever sin is conceived, that also is brought forth. Now placing the conception of sin, as we have done, in the consent of the will to it, and reckoning, as we ought, the bringing forth of sin to consist in its actual commission, we know that these do not necessarily follow one another. There is a world of sin conceived in the womb of the wills and hearts of men, that is never brought forth. Our present business then shall be to inquire, Whence that comes to pass ? I answer then, First, That this is not so, is no thanks to sin, nor the law of it. What it conceives it would bring forth; and that it doth not, is, for the most part, but a small abatement of its guilt. A determinate will of actual sinning, is actual sin.

Excerpt from On the Nature, Power, Deceit, and Prevalence of Indwelling Sin in Believers WE hold it of prime importance, in the business of practical Christianity, that we understand well the kind of work which is put into our hands, both that we may go rightly about it, and also that we may have the comfort of judging whether it is actually making progress under our exertions. A mistake on this point may lead us perhaps to waste our ef forts on that which is impracticable; and when these efforts of course turn out to be fruitless, may lead us to abandon our spirits to utter despondency; and thus, to use the language of the Apostle Paul, run ning as uncertainly, and fighting as one that beateth the air, we may spend our days, alike strangers to peace, and to progressive holiness.
