Mother, Safety, Temptation

Thomas Brooks (1810). “Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices: Being a Companion for Christians of All Denominations”, p.233

Little sins carry with them but little temptations to sin, and then a man shews most viciousness and unkindness, when he sins on a little temptation. It is devilish to sin without a temptation; it is little less than devilish to sin on a little occasion. The less the temptation is to sin, the greater is that sin.
