Failings, with conflict, in sanctification should not weaken the peace of our justification, and assurance of salvation. It mattereth not so much what ill is in us, as what good; not what corruptions, but how we stand affected to them; not what our particular failings be, so much as what is the thread and tenor of our lives; for Christ’s mislike of that which is amiss in us, redounds not to the hatred of our persons, but to the victorious subduing of all our infirmities.
