"If any one sin reign, it will keep us from reigning in the kingdom of heaven. Especially keep from sins of presumption, which waste conscience, vastare conscientiam (Tertullian); and the sin of your natural constitution, the peccatum in deliciis (Augustine); thy darling sin; 'I kept myself from mine iniquity,' that sin which my heart would soonest decoy and flatter me into. Psa xvii 23. As in the hive there is one master-bee, so in the heart one master-sin: Oh, take heed of this!"
– Thomas Watson, 117.
