Progress of Presumption
Numbers 15:30-31
But the soul that does ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproaches the LORD…


Presumption never stops in its first attempt. If Caesar comes once to pass the Rubicon, he will be sure to march farther on, even till he enters the very bowels of Rome, and break open the Capitol itself. He that wades so far as to wet and foul himself, cares not how much he trashes farther.

(R. South, D. D.)
