wherefore_o be_v adam_n exile_v out_o of_o paradise_n but_o for_o his_o sin_n why_o be_v the_o old_a world_n drown_v with_o water_n but_o for_o their_o sin_n why_o be_v sodom_n burn_v with_o fire_n and_o brimstone_n but_o for_o sin_n paul_n sinful_a zeal_n make_v he_o a_o persecutor_n sin_n make_v absolom_n ambitious_a haman_n malicious_a nabal_n a_o churl_n and_o judas_n a_o traitor_n sin_n cause_v korah_n and_o his_o company_n to_o be_v swallow_v up_o of_o the_o earth_n 2_o sin_n make_v pharaoh_n and_o his_o people_n to_o be_v consume_v by_o the_o water_n sin_n occasion_v nadab_n and_o abihu_n to_o be_v devour_v with_o fire_n sin_n cause_v her●d_n to_o be_v eat_v with_o worm_n god_n turn_v a_o fruitful_a land_n into_o barronnesse_n for_o the_o wickedness_n of_o they_o that_o dwell_v therein_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n say_v that_o for_o the_o transgression_n of_o the_o land_n there_o be_v many_o prince_n thereof_o that_o be_v many_z and_o no_o small_a alteration_n in_o the_o state_n our_o sin_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o sorrow_n and_o our_o wickedness_n be_v the_o worker_n of_o all_o our_o wretchedness_n it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o disorder_n and_o dissension_n in_o church_n in_o commonwealth_n and_o family_n yea_o it_o oftentimes_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o the_o sinner_n be_v punish_v by_o commit_v of_o other_o sin_n 28._o therefore_o paul_n say_v that_o god_n give_v the_o heathen_a for_o their_o wickedness_n up_o to_o their_o heart_n lust_n and_o deliver_v they_o over_o to_o a_o reprobate_a mind_n to_o commit_v very_o fearful_a and_o odious_a enormity_n 23._o sin_n be_v like_o the_o serpent_n amphisbaena_fw-la which_o have_v as_o it_o be_v two_o head_n one_o before_o a_o other_o behind_o at_o the_o tail_n as_o if_o she_o be_v not_o hurtful_a enough_o to_o cast_v her_o poison_n at_o one_o mouth_n only_o sin_n wound_v at_o both_o end_n in_o the_o one_o it_o wound_v the_o soul_n by_o poison_v and_o infect_v it_o and_o in_o the_o other_o it_o wound_v both_o soul_n and_o body_n by_o destroy_v they_o without_o the_o antidote_n or_o counterpoison_n of_o the_o meritorious_a blood_n of_o that_o true_a brazen_a serpent_n christ_n jesus_n sin_n as_o it_o be_v out_o of_o two_o mouth_n spit_v forth_o her_o venom_n whereby_o she_o both_o hurt_v our_o heart_n and_o expose_v we_o to_o the_o fire_n of_o god_n dreadful_a indignation_n four_o sin_n be_v very_o subtle_a like_o a_o serpent_n &_o all_o like_o a_o witch_n to_o work_v our_o woe_n it_o be_v like_o the_o hyaena_fw-la 30_o which_o as_o pliny_n record_v be_v say_v to_o vomit_v like_o a_o man_n thereby_o to_o train_v dog_n to_o come_v unto_o he_o and_o then_o will_v devour_v they_o sometime_o it_o will_v weep_v with_o the_o crocodile_n sometime_o it_o will_v be_v musical_a with_o the_o siren_n but_o all_o to_o destroy_v it_o begin_v sometime_o with_o a_o song_n like_o a_o gnat_n but_o it_o end_v with_o bite_v pliny_n say_v that_o the_o hyaena_fw-la will_v change_v his_o eye_n into_o a_o thousand_o colour_n ibid._n so_o sin_n will_v make_v many_o face_n the_o beivers_n hair_n be_v soft_a than_o the_o down_o of_o feather_n yet_o be_v he_o dangerous_a with_o his_o tooth_n for_o as_o pliny_n write_v he_o will_v gnaw_v tree_n with_o his_o tooth_n be_v if_o they_o be_v cut_v with_o axe_n and_o if_o he_o catch_v hold_v of_o any_o joint_n in_o a_o man_n he_o will_v not_o leave_v till_o he_o have_v knap_v the_o bone_n asunder_o so_o sin_n do_v oftentimes_o very_a much_o delight_n the_o sinner_n as_o be_v very_o soft_a to_o the_o touch_n and_o pleasant_a to_o the_o taste_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v but_o a_o paint_a jezabel_n a_o disguise_a harlot_n and_o a_o sweeten_v poison_n it_o gnawne_v the_o conscience_n and_o bite_v the_o soul_n to_o the_o bone_n it_o be_v green_a like_o the_o box_n tree_n but_o the_o seed_n be_v poison_n ibid._n the_o hurtful_a serpent_n be_v ordinary_o of_o the_o colour_n of_o the_o harmless_a earth_n so_o sin_n sometime_o do_v seem_v a_o virtue_n and_o be_v so_o esteem_v of_o some_o that_o be_v bad-sighted_n or_o grow_v to_o desperate_a impiety_n which_o speak_v good_a of_o evil_n 20._o and_o evil_a of_o good_a which_o put_v darkness_n for_o light_n and_o light_n for_o darkness_n that_o put_v bitter_a for_o sweet_a and_o sweet_a for_o sour_a sin_n have_v so_o distemper_v their_o taste_n and_o bewitch_v their_o eye_n if_o sin_n be_v not_o exceed_v subtle_a and_o the_o sinner_n make_v by_o sin_n exceed_o simple_a solomon_n will_v not_o say_v there_o be_v a_o way_n that_o seem_v right_a unto_o man_n 25._o but_o the_o issue_n thereof_o be_v the_o way_n of_o death_n neither_o will_v any_o hypocrite_n be_v so_o impudent_a as_o to_o say_v without_o blush_v if_o at_o all_o with_o those_o in_o isaih_n stand_v apart_o 5._o come_v not_o near_o unto_o i_o for_o i_o be_o more_o holy_a th●n_n thou_o if_o sin_n have_v not_o be_v very_o deceitful_a will_v the_o valentinian_n heretic_n have_v condemn_v all_o other_o as_o gross_a and_o earthly_a and_o have_v call_v themselves_o only_o ghostly_a will_v the_o arrian_n have_v call_v the_o true_a christian_n that_o profess_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n sometime_o ambrosian_o sometime_o johannite_v and_o sometime_o homousian_o allow_v themselves_o only_o something_a like_o our_o papist_n to_o be_v call_v catholic_n will_v the_o brownist_n which_o be_v spring_v out_o of_o the_o ash_n of_o the_o donatist_n condemn_v our_o ministry_n our_o church_n and_o assembly_n as_o antichristian_a can_v widow_n house_n be_v devour_v through_o the_o pretext_n of_o long_a prayer_n can_v vice_n wander_v in_o the_o habit_n of_o virtue_n or_o will_v any_o but_o a_o dog_n return_v like_o a_o dog_n to_o his_o vomit_n if_o sin_n be_v not_o very_o deceitful_a but_o do_v appear_v unto_o all_o man_n as_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o consider_v therefore_o belove_v the_o malicious_a subtlety_n and_o the_o subtle_a malice_n of_o sin_n unto_o mankind_n let_v we_o not_o only_o bewise_o to_o discern_v it_o but_o careful_a also_o to_o fly_v from_o it_o and_o eschew_v it_o he_o that_o foster_v sin_n favour_v a_o false_a and_o perfidious_a enemy_n and_o do_v as_o joash_n do_v 13_o who_o entertain_v servant_n which_o slay_v he_o let_v no_o man_n therefore_o i_o say_v be_v the_o servant_n of_o sin_n give_v not_o your_o member_n as_o weapon_n of_o unrighteousness_n unto_o sin_n listen_v not_o unto_o it_o least_o by_o listen_v unto_o it_o as_o eve_n do_v unto_o the_o serpent_n you_o make_v yourselves_o as_o she_o do_v herself_o a_o pray_v to_o the_o devil_n five_o unless_o a_o man_n do_v purpose_n and_o with_o a_o constant_a determination_n of_o mind_n and_o resolution_n of_o spirit_n do_v labour_n to_o leave_v his_o sin_n and_o to_o stand_v against_o the_o stream_n of_o his_o sinful_a affection_n he_o do_v show_v himself_o destitute_a of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n 13_o which_o be_v to_o hate_v evil_a and_o altogether_o unlike_a to_o god_n who_o be_v holy_a yea_o even_a holiness_n itself_o and_o he_o do_v moreover_o make_v himself_o unmeete_a to_o ask_v forgiveness_n of_o his_o sin_n for_o with_o what_o face_n dare_v he_o desire_v of_o god_n to_o forgive_v he_o his_o sin_n that_o make_v no_o conscience_n of_o commit_v sin_n how_o dare_v he_o desire_v god_n to_o turn_v his_o judgement_n from_o he_o see_v he_o do_v not_o serious_o himself_o purpose_n and_o according_o study_v to_o turn_n from_o his_o sin_n which_o do_v not_o only_o deserve_v the_o judgment_n of_o god_n but_o be_v also_o a_o match_n to_o give_v fire_n unto_o his_o wrath_n or_o as_o bellows_n to_o blow_v it_o up_o yea_o it_o be_v a_o very_a manifest_a argument_n that_o he_o which_o will_v not_o turn_v from_o his_o sin_n do_v not_o sincere_o &_o with_o a_o honest_a heart_n desire_v the_o pardon_n of_o sin_n for_o no_o man_n will_v think_v that_o he_o do_v hearty_o desire_v the_o peace_n and_o pardon_n of_o his_o neighbour_n who_o come_v creep_v to_o he_o for_o it_o and_o yet_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n do_v either_o secret_o practice_v against_o he_o or_o at_o the_o least_o do_v not_o purpose_n to_o forbear_v the_o practice_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o make_v the_o ●arre_n betwixt_o they_o he_o do_v only_o dally_v with_o he_o and_o abuse_v he_o sixth_o let_v we_o remember_v that_o there_o be_v a_o day_n of_o death_n and_o a_o day_n of_o judgement_n in_o which_o every_o man_n must_v answer_v for_o his_o fact_n cain_n for_o his_o murder_n ishmael_n for_o his_o mock_n nahal_n for_o his_o drunkenness_n absalon_n for_o his_o ambition_n achitophel_n for_o his_o wicked_a counsel_n haman_n for_o his_o haughtiness_n herod_n for_o his_o pride_n judw_n for_o his_o treason_n julian_n for_o his_o blasphemy_n
