me as thy friend Now read me through if thou beginne First of the strength and force of the poison of sinne TO bee plaine in words certaine in sence and short in writing I will briefly describe the strength of the poison of sin It is a spirituall poison The breach of Gods Law 1 Ioh. 3.4 The which whosoeuer committeth is of the Diuell 1 Iohn 3.8 Yea it is the vile and most damnable thing in the world The onely Noli me tangere which no man without the displeasure of Almighty GOD could euer taste or touch in the least degree For Via peccati ingredientes contaminat progredientes obstinat egredientes exterminat Sinne in the first entrance defileth in the progresse hardeneth and at his going out destroyeth It causeth all those that commit it to dishonour God to crucifie Christ a fresh and to greeue the Holy Ghost It makes the Angels to moure and all Gods creatures to groone and sigh vnder the burthen of it Rom. 8.22 It is the very excrement of the Diuell that old Serpent the age of it is almost as old as the worlde for scarce was there a world but it was a prisoned worlde with sinne and almost no sooner was there a man but hée was infected with this poison And so strong was this poison euen at the first committing of sinne that it made all the worlde mourne for her mallidy the which neither Ghiron Esculapius nor Apollo could euer heale No if all the Angels and men both of heauen and earth were in one they could neuer heale it Our poysoned soules could not bee cured without a Mithradate confection of the best bloude that euer was in the worlde euen the most pretious bloud of Christ Iesus the onely begotten Sonne of God So this spirituall poyson can bee nowayes cured but by a spirituall antidote this most deadly poyson must haue the most soueraine antidote onely here is the difference that as hel giueth the poyson so heauen giues the helps There is no sinne so small that hath not cost the Sonne of God euen a sea of sorrowes O what a hell thinke wee was Iesus Christ in for our sinnes when hee swet both water and bloud and prayed thrice most feruently to haue that bitter cup pase from him Yea hee brake out into this sundring voice and cried to God his Father Quare dereliquisti me Why hath thou forsaken me Whose bloudy sweat came trickling downe to the ground Luke 22.44 In the which no doubt he felt the force and strength of sinne the wrath of God against it the Iustice of God requiring punishment for it the power of the Law pronouncing condemnation to it the force of death the tyrannie of Satan and the torment of hell which was forcible enough to haue drawne streames of teares out of the driest eye that euer was in the head of man and to haue excited a multitude of sorrowfull groanes out of the hardest heart that euer GOD made Oh was the strength of sinne so great that it caused Christ to shed dropps of blood for our sinnes and cannot we shed forth one teare for the same Oh I beseech you let the horror of it be alwayes fresh in our memorie and the meditation thereof imprinted in our hearts that wee may remember those grieuous dropps of that most precious blood which Iesus Christ shedde for our sakes for our sinnes for our soules and for our saluation Let vs loue him for it thanke him for it and serue him for it all the dayes of our liues So that our hands may tremble and shake for feare and our whole body may quake with terror of it when any euill imagination is hatched in our hearts or any wicked deede should be acted with our hands that we may be euer terrified from nourishing sinne in our bosome whose condition is so vile and base For such is the nature of sinne enter where it will it is the heart it aimes at and it will not stay vntill it comes there because sinne and Sathan loue no venison but the heart no fowle but the breast and no fish but the soule The heart is the throne where sinne would raigne and the soule it selfe is the seate where sinne would sit And therefore the more sinne labours to poyson that part the more should wee striue to preserue it If our heart bee Gods throne then is hee a most vile traytor to God and himselfe that suffers sin Gods great enemy that proud presumptuous aspiring Tyrant to sit in the seat and tyrannize in the throne of the Soueraigne Maiestie of Almighty God Thus wee may see that the very subiect and seat of sinne is the heart and soule of man that most glorious and pretious part which God made like to himselfe and for the which the Sonne of God was crucified And as sinne delights to sit and captiue both the heart and soule of man so the longer it raignes there the worse it is for as in good things the elder the better so in the euill of sinne the elder the worse and the more they will grow in number Aske one of the holiest men hee that had fewest sinnes They are more in number saith hee than the haires of my head Oh who can vnderstand his errours Psalme 40.12 Psal 19.12 Or who can tell how oft he offendeth Yea sinne is growne so foule so great and is so scattered abroad into so many mens hearts that S. Iohn saith Totus mundus in
