Excerpt from The Whole Works of the Right Rev. Edward Reynolds, D.D., Lord Bishop of Norwich, Vol. 4 of 6: With His Funeral Sermon

It is a saying of Justin Martyr, that it is best of all not to sin: and next, to amend upon the punishment. But who, of any understanding, would therefore break his head, because he hopes to have a good medicine to cure it? The uses which we ought to make of this instance of Peter, are mentioned by St. Paul; Thou standest by faith be not high-minded, but fear, (rom. X. Where fore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall, (1 Cor. X. What St. Austin+ said of David, may be well applied particularly unto ourselves; Let such (saith he) who have not fallen, hear, and take heed of falling: such as have fallen, let them hear and rise again, Here is not propounded an example of falling, but an example of rising again after falling.
