All sin is gone?
How naturally do those who experience such a change imagine that all sin is gone? That it is utterly rooted out of their heart, and has no more any place in it? How easily do they draw that inference: I feel no sin, therefore I have none. It does not stir, therefore it does not exist. It has no motion, therefore it has no being.

5. How naturally do those who experience such a change, imagine that all sin is gone? That it is utterly rooted out of their heart, and has no more any place therein? How easily do they draw that inference, “I feel no sin: therefore I have none.” It does not stir; therefore it does not exist: it has no motion; therefore it has no being.
