that_o sin_n however_o pleasant_a it_o seem_v in_o its_o present_a appearance_n yet_o be_v real_o afflictive_a and_o sad_a in_o the_o trial_n and_o issue_n just_a as_o the_o caress_n of_o a_o harlot_n be_v invite_v and_o charm_v at_o first_o but_o deadly_a as_o the_o sting_n of_o a_o serpent_n and_o destructive_a as_o the_o embrace_n of_o death_n at_o the_o latter_a end_n and_o wicked_a man_n be_v therefore_o call_v vain_a and_o foolish_a because_o they_o be_v cheat_v by_o the_o appearance_n and_o deceitfulness_n of_o sin_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v and_o make_v to_o expect_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o happiness_n and_o delight_n when_o alas_o the_o dead_a be_v there_o and_o its_o path_n lead_v down_o unto_o hell_n 3._o vanity_n be_v often_o use_v to_o express_v that_o which_o be_v

subject_a still_o to_o the_o stroke_n of_o death_n and_o of_o no_o fix_a continuance_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o possession_n of_o it_o be_v call_v vanity_n and_o often_o say_v to_o

call_v vain_a because_o so_o volatile_a and_o uncertain_a and_o because_o they_o make_v themselves_o wing_n and_o fly_v away_o now_o youth_n be_v call_v vanity_n in_o all_o these_o respect_n 1._o for_o its_o prosecution_n of_o vain_a and_o deceitful_a thing_n its_o judgement_n be_v not_o ripe_a nor_o have_v its_o reason_n attain_v to_o any_o consistency_n it_o be_v easy_o impose_v upon_o by_o

upon_o they_o this_o be_v one_o great_a reason_n why_o its_o temper_n and_o inclination_n be_v so_o desultory_a and_o uncertain_a now_o hot_a in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o one_o vanity_n and_o present_o another_o now_o its_o hawk_n and_o then_o its_o hound_n and_o after_o these_o its_o horse_n or_o its_o mistress_n engross_v its_o respect_n because_o it_o fix_v only_o by_o chance_n and_o uncertain_a

satisfaction_n that_o it_o expect_v it_o therefore_o beat_v for_o new_a and_o range_v over_o the_o whole_a periphery_n because_o none_o satisfi_v its_o expectation_n 2._o it_o be_v call_v vanity_n upon_o a_o second_o and_o worse_a account_n of_o vanity_n because_o it_o be_v subject_a to_o many_o sensual_a lust_n that_o hurry_n and_o betray_v it_o into_o sin_n and_o wickedness_n and_o drown_v man_n in_o perdition_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v the_o inclination_n of_o sense_n be_v strong_a and_o rampant_a the_o power_n of_o reason_n and_o understanding_n weak_a and_o small_a not_o able_a to_o see_v into_o the_o truth_n of_o thing_n nor_o to_o bridle_v those_o impetuous_a lust_n that_o be_v so_o easy_o fire_v and_o captivate_v by_o any_o thing_n that_o promise_v present_a

vanity_n upon_o the_o last_o reason_n also_o i._n e._n because_o it_o be_v frail_a and_o of_o uncertain_a continuance_n and_o young_a man_n as_o subject_a to_o the_o stroke_n and_o seizure_n of_o death_n as_o any_o other_o nay_o indeed_o a_o great_a deal_n more_o and_o have_v we_o not_o reason_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o assertion_n yet_o we_o may_v easy_o vouch_v certain_a and_o daily_a experience_n for_o it_o i_o be_o too_o sensible_a how_o apt_a young_a person_n be_v to_o think_v otherwise_o and_o venture_v to_o act_v upon_o such_o wild_a conceit_n they_o imagine_v they_o have_v the_o world_n before_o they_o and_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o time_n that_o they_o may_v presume_v upon_o but_o have_v they_o either_o reason_n to_o judge_v of_o thing_n or_o will_v give_v themselves_o leisure_n to_o make_v any_o due_a observation_n they_o will_v soon_o see_v the_o vanity_n and_o hazard_n of_o this_o fancy_n alas_o their_o temper_n and_o constitution_n be_v tender_a and_o not_o yet_o come_v to_o any_o firm_a consistency_n frail_a and_o soon_o break_v as_o the_o fine_a glass_n and_o a_o thousand_o time_n more_o subject_a to_o any_o external_n impression_n then_o when_o their_o temper_n be_v harden_a and_o their_o body_n settle_a the_o early_a bud_n and_o the_o new_a blow_v flower_n be_v ten_o time_n more_o incident_a to_o every_o blast_n and_o storm_n than_o the_o

find_v there_o be_v as_o much_o difference_n in_o the_o number_n of_o the_o young_a and_o old_a as_o they_o see_v there_o be_v between_o the_o blossom_n and_o the_o ripe_a fruit_n there_o be_v

and_o first_o it_o be_v one_o good_a argument_n to_o engage_v such_o to_o religion_n to_o consider_v what_o idle_a vain_a impertinent_a thing_n they_o will_v else_o be_v still_o in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o their_o busy_a head_n and_o active_a thought_n will_v still_o be_v set_v upon_o something_o their_o spirit_n be_v volatile_a and_o still_o upon_o the_o wing_n and_o some_o project_n or_o other_o they_o will_v always_o be_v upon_o and_o if_o religion_n do_v not_o in_o some_o good_a degree_n season_v their_o mind_n and_o give_v measure_n to_o their_o regard_n and_o care_n lord_n how_o silly_a how_o restless_a and_o distract_a will_n their_o pursuit_n still_o be_v what_o trifle_n and_o vanity_n will_v their_o care_n be_v expend_v upon_o and_o what_o a_o nothing_o will_v be_v the_o purchase_n of_o all_o their_o labour_n we_o pity_v the_o innocence_n of_o a_o poor_a child_n that_o take_v such_o pain_n to_o gather_v a_o rush_n and_o sweat_v in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o a_o silly_a butterfly_n and_o be_v it_o not_o much_o great_a pity_n to_o see_v a_o comely_a youth_n of_o hopeful_a part_n and_o very_o promise_a capacity_n waste_v his_o time_n and_o strength_n in_o the_o pursuit_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v every_o whit_n as_o vain_a only_o not_o half_a so_o innocent_a thing_n that_o not_o only_o answer_v not_o his_o pain_n but_o sad_o illude_v they_o put_v he_o only_o upon_o the_o rack_n of_o new_a acquist_n and_o pursuit_n instead_o of_o compensate_v his_o past_a labour_n be_v it_o not_o a_o melancholy_a sight_n to_o behold_v beauty_n and_o part_n a_o bloom_a vigour_n and_o strength_n and_o a_o person_n worthy_a of_o the_o care_n of_o angel_n to_o prosecute_v with_o so_o much_o earnestness_n that_o which_o satisfi_v not_o to_o court_v vanity_n which_o

with_o continual_a disappointment_n oh_o what_o great_a pity_n be_v it_o that_o such_o industry_n shall_v not_o be_v better_o direct_v and_o better_o reward_v will_v you_o think_v how_o lamentable_o
