We will delude, we will mock, no man with a dream of sinless perfection, any more than we will insult or betray any man by offering a licence to sin. Rather would we tell him that, as no sin can possibly tarry in Christ's presence—as Christ receives no man except to rid him of his sin, and because that is his desire—so, when sin revives in him, and he feels himself beginning to consent to it, he must hurry back into the sinless Presence; Christ who once received shall receive again, again unto forgiveness, again unto holiness.
