but_o come_v unto_o the_o text._n the_o three_o evil_a that_o sin_n bring_v in_o this_o life_n to_o contrary_a delight_n be_v fear_n of_o punishment_n for_o the_o sinful_a man_n after_o he_o have_v

vileness_n of_o the_o first_o evil_a it_o rest_v that_o we_o know_v how_o the_o second_o evil_n may_v be_v worse_o than_o this_o for_o that_o it_o be_v say_v in_o our_o text_n the_o last_o state_n of_o that_o man_n be_v worse_a than_o the_o first_o a_o man_n will_v think_v that_o the_o first_o be_v so_o bad_a as_o light_o there_o can_v be_v no_o worse_o but_o how_o the_o last_o become_v worse_a than_o the_o first_o in_o few_o word_n i_o shall_v show_v if_o we_o respect_v sin_n in_o his_o own_o nature_n it_o be_v always_o evil_a &_o so_o evil_a as_o it_o can_v not_o be_v worse_o but_o if_o we_o respect_v it_o as_o it_o be_v renew_a in_o action_n the_o more_o a_o ill_a thing_n be_v renew_a the_o worse_a still_o it_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o ingratitude_n that_o remain_v in_o the_o

the_o offence_n in_o their_o own_o nature_n be_v bad_a and_o neither_o worse_o than_o the_o other_o but_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o ingratitude_n of_o the_o offender_n who_o be_v pardon_v once_o will_v not_o take_v heed_n the_o second_o time_n and_o so_o forth_o of_o all_o other_o sin_n that_o so_o shall_v be_v renew_v the_o more_o they_o be_v renew_v the_o more_o hainon_n they_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o ingratitude_n now_o where_o our_o text_n say_v that_o the_o last_o state_n of_o such_o a_o one_o shall_v be_v worse_o than_o the_o first_o i_o will_v show_v you_o brief_o also_o how_o that_o may_v be_v mean_v and_o the_o be_v for_o three_o respect_n first_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o tempt_v a_o man_n to_o sin_n second_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o offender_n that_o commit_v the_o sin_n three_o in_o respect_n of_o god_n that_o punish_v sin_n all_o these_o i_o shall_v make_v plain_a by_o a_o familiar_a example_n and_o first_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o devil_n that_o tempt_v unto_o sin_n i_o will_v show_v you_o how_o the_o last_o evil_n be_v worse_a than_o the_o first_o take_v the_o example_n of_o a_o jailor_n that_o take_v a_o man_n to_o prison_n the_o man_n be_v commit_v but_o for_o debt_n or_o some_o such_o other_o trespass_n be_v indifferent_o well_o use_v and_o entreat_v in_o prison_n he_o have_v as_o much_o liberty_n as_o the_o prison_n can_v yield_v he_o and_o as_o much_o favour_n as_o the_o jailor_n can_v show_v he_o but_o if_o this_o prisoner_n watch_v his_o opportunity_n do_v happen_v to_o break_v forth_o and_o to_o make_v a_o escape_n how_o do_v the_o jailor_n than_o rage_n and_o fume_n and_o how_o do_v he_o threaten_v and_o lay_v about_o he_o say_v that_o if_o ever_o he_o catch_v that_o prisoner_n again_o he_o will_v use_v he_o and_o so_o forth_o so_o as_o you_o see_v it_o stand_v the_o prisoner_n upon_o that_o be_v so_o break_a away_o to_o look_v unto_o himself_o for_o otherwise_o it_o have_v be_v better_a for_o he_o that_o he_o have_v remain_v in_o prison_n still_o and_o make_v no_o escape_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o he_o be_v take_v again_o how_o be_v this_o poor_a wretch_n then_o use_v he_o be_v lay_v in_o bolt_n he_o be_v keep_v under_o lock_n and_o key_n he_o go_v not_o out_o of_o his_o chamber_n he_o be_v continual_o watch_v you_o see_v how_o his_o last_o imprisonment_n be_v worse_a than_o the_o first_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o cruel_a usage_n of_o the_o jailor_n even_o so_o it_o fare_v with_o a_o sinner_n who_o as_o long_o as_o he_o be_v in_o sin_n be_v in_o the_o devil_n keep_v and_o so_o long_o as_o he_o continue_v in_o sin_n the_o devil_n let_v he_o alone_o do_v not_o trouble_v he_o much_o but_o let_v he_o enjoy_v the_o liberty_n of_o the_o prison_n that_o be_v the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n and_o suffer_v he_o to_o go_v from_o one_o to_o a_o other_o without_o contradiction_n but_o if_o this_o sinner_n chance_n at_o any_o time_n to_o be_v move_v by_o grace_n to_o forsake_v sin_n and_o the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n and_o to_o break_v prison_n that_o be_v to_o give_v the_o devil_n the_o slip_n and_o mean_v to_o return_v to_o the_o service_n of_o almighty_a god_n it_o stand_v this_o man_n upon_o to_o look_v well_o unto_o himself_o and_o to_o think_v that_o the_o devil_n have_v a_o continual_a eye_n upon_o he_o and_o if_o ever_o he_o can_v catch_v he_o again_o and_o bring_v he_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o his_o prison_n let_v he_o be_v assure_v he_o will_v keep_v he_o more_o wary_o the_o second_o time_n and_o remove_v from_o he_o all_o the_o occasion_n that_o bring_v he_o to_o goodness_n and_o lock_v he_o up_o fast_o in_o a_o close_a dungeon_n where_o he_o shall_v see_v nothing_o and_o feel_v nothing_o but_o continual_a temptation_n and_o allurement_n unto_o sin_n and_o shall_v be_v so_o watch_v &_o guard_v that_o he_o shall_v hardly_o make_v any_o escape_n again_o and_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o second_o estate_n of_o a_o sinner_n be_v worse_a than_o the_o first_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o devil_n by_o comparison_n of_o a_o jailor_n the_o last_o estate_n of_o a_o sinner_n be_v worse_a than_o the_o first_o also_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o sinner_n himself_o for_o experience_n and_o natural_a reason_n teach_v that_o many_o action_n do_v at_o the_o last_o come_v to_o be_v a_o habit_n and_o long_a custom_n in_o any_o thing_n do_v alter_v nature_n wherefore_o that_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o frequent_v much_o synning_n in_o time_n can_v come_v to_o do_v nothing_o else_o we_o see_v by_o daily_a experience_n that_o a_o child_n that_o have_v be_v virtuous_o or_o well_o bring_v up_o when_o he_o come_v to_o year_n and_o begin_v to_o see_v the_o corruption_n of_o the_o world_n how_o at_o first_o not_o be_v experience_v with_o the_o filthiness_n of_o sin_n he_o account_v it_o a_o abominable_a thing_n but_o if_o after_o he_o fall_v into_o ill_a company_n among_o who_o sin_n be_v bold_o use_v by_o little_a and_o little_o he_o may_v be_v draw_v to_o commit_v it_o once_o if_o he_o have_v commit_v sin_n one_o time_n he_o will_v be_v the_o more_o easy_o draw_v to_o the_o second_o and_o so_o to_o the_o three_o and_o at_o last_o he_o will_v be_v as_o bold_a in_o sin_n as_o the_o best_a and_o as_o shameless_a as_o the_o rest_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o the_o last_o state_n of_o a_o sinner_n be_v
