reason_n be_v very_o plain_a for_o though_o the_o understanding_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v so_o darken_v 5._o that_o they_o call_v good_a evil_n and_o evil_a good_a sour_a sweet_a and_o sweet_a sour_a though_o their_o appetite_n and_o affection_n be_v so_o pervert_v that_o they_o swallow_v up_o sin_n with_o greediness_n and_o drink_v iniquity_n like_o water_n yet_o there_o be_v some_o relic_n of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n in_o their_o understanding_n whereby_o they_o have_v a_o glimpse_n of_o good_a and_o evil_n which_o though_o it_o can_v moderate_v the_o will_n and_o affection_n from_o run_v into_o sin_n yet_o it_o do_v so_o far_o forth_o bridle_v they_o as_o that_o they_o will_v not_o commit_v any_o heinous_a impiety_n but_o when_o some_o thing_n be_v offer_v which_o put_v as_o it_o be_v a_o vizard_n upon_o the_o object_n of_o the_o will_n and_o make_v it_o choose_v that_o which_o otherwise_o it_o will_v refuse_v for_o the_o will_n by_o nature_n be_v always_o carry_v unto_o his_o proper_a object_n which_o be_v good_a and_o abhor_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a so_o that_o when_o it_o choose_v evil_a it_o be_v not_o as_o it_o be_v a_o will_n but_o as_o it_o be_v deprave_v and_o as_o the_o understanding_n which_o judge_v of_o the_o object_n before_o the_o will_v choose_v or_o refuse_v it_o count_v that_o good_a which_o indeed_o be_v evil_a 3._o here_o two_o sort_n of_o man_n be_v to_o be_v censure_v 1._o the_o first_o be_v such_o as_o think_v themselves_o sufficient_o excuse_v for_o commit_v any_o sin_n if_o they_o can_v bring_v any_o occasion_n or_o the_o allurement_n which_o have_v move_v they_o to_o commit_v it_o the_o drunkard_n will_v say_v that_o company_n have_v draw_v he_o to_o forget_v himself_o and_o therefore_o he_o must_v be_v pardon_v the_o adulterer_n will_v plead_v for_o himself_o that_o his_o own_o corrupt_a affection_n have_v move_v he_o and_o that_o the_o circumstance_n of_o time_n and_o place_n have_v cause_v he_o and_o therefore_o he_o must_v be_v excuse_v but_o these_o excuse_n be_v such_o as_o that_o if_o they_o will_v serve_v the_o turn_n the_o wicked_a reprobate_n upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n may_v be_v find_v not_o guilty_a for_o may_v not_o judas_n have_v plead_v for_o himself_o that_o he_o will_v never_o have_v betray_v christ_n but_o that_o he_o expect_v some_o reward_n from_o the_o high_a priest_n may_v not_o ahab_n have_v swear_v that_o he_o will_v never_o have_v seek_v naboth_n blood_n if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v for_o his_o vineyard_n which_o be_v so_o commodious_a for_o his_o house_n may_v not_o achan_n have_v avouch_v that_o he_o will_v never_o have_v transgress_v the_o lord_n commandment_n by_o take_v of_o the_o excommunicate_a thing_n but_o that_o it_o so_o offer_v itself_o that_o he_o think_v he_o may_v have_v take_v it_o and_o none_o be_v privy_a to_o it_o may_v not_o cain_n have_v excuse_v the_o slaughter_n of_o his_o guiltless_a brother_n that_o he_o will_v not_o have_v kill_v he_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o have_v a_o great_a respect_n unto_o abel_n sacrifice_n then_o unto_o he_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o such_o object_n may_v occur_v such_o inducement_n may_v happen_v as_o that_o the_o dear_a of_o god_n child_n which_o as_o long_o as_o they_o remain_v in_o these_o house_n of_o clay_n do_v taste_v too_o much_o of_o the_o old_a adam_n may_v thereby_o be_v lead_v to_o commit_v gross_a impiety_n we_o know_v that_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n move_v peter_n to_o deny_v his_o master_n that_o idleness_n and_o the_o sight_n of_o bathsheba_n cause_v david_n to_o adultery_n that_o lot_n daughter_n bring_v their_o father_n to_o commit_v incest_n that_o solomon_n by_o his_o wife_n be_v draw_v to_o idolatry_n that_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o egyptian_n make_v faithful_a abraham_n to_o distrust_v god_n providence_n and_o to_o say_v that_o his_o wife_n be_v his_o sister_n but_o this_o only_o show_v their_o imperfection_n it_o excuse_v not_o their_o fact_n that_o they_o have_v sundry_a provocation_n to_o these_o sin_n if_o peter_n have_v think_v that_o the_o fear_n that_o the_o jew_n put_v he_o in_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a cruelty_n which_o they_o use_v against_o his_o master_n may_v have_v excuse_v he_o for_o deny_v christ_n he_o may_v have_v spare_v his_o tear_n if_o occasion_n 26._o and_o time_n and_o place_n may_v have_v purchase_v a_o pardon_n for_o david_n 1._o he_o will_v never_o have_v be_v so_o vehement_a and_o passionate_a in_o confess_v his_o fault_n and_o crave_v a_o pardon_n for_o the_o same_o and_o indeed_o this_o be_v the_o only_a course_n to_o be_v free_v from_o god_n plague_n not_o to_o excuse_v our_o sin_n and_o say_v that_o such_o and_o such_o provocation_n bring_v we_o to_o they_o for_o so_o the_o wicked_a reprobate_n may_v be_v innocent_a but_o to_o humble_v ourselves_o before_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n and_o to_o confess_v our_o misery_n that_o he_o may_v receive_v we_o to_o mercy_n 4_o there_o be_v another_o

because_o such_o object_n and_o allurement_n be_v want_v as_o other_o have_v have_v will_v boast_v at_o least_o within_o themselves_o that_o they_o have_v attain_v unto_o a_o far_o great_a measure_n of_o holiness_n than_o other_o which_o by_o their_o natural_a proneness_n or_o some_o external_a cause_n be_v draw_v to_o wickedness_n but_o alas_o what_o credit_n be_v it_o for_o the_o scythian_n that_o they_o be_v no_o drunkard_n when_o they_o never_o get_v wine_n nor_o strong_a drink_n tacitus_n what_o commendation_n for_o the_o old_a german_n that_o they_o abstain_v from_o the_o unlawful_a company_n of_o woman_n when_o by_o nature_n they_o be_v not_o addict_v to_o wantonness_n what_o credit_n be_v it_o for_o a_o young_a child_n or_o wither_a old_a man_n to_o abstain_v from_o carnal_a pleasure_n when_o the_o heat_n of_o youth_n in_o the_o one_o be_v quell_v and_o the_o other_o never_o know_v what_o lust_n mean_v what_o grace_n for_o a_o weak_a spirit_a man_n who_o be_v never_o move_v with_o any_o excessive_a anger_n not_o to_o be_v a_o murderer_n this_o be_v rather_o commendation_n worthy_a if_o we_o shall_v abstain_v from_o those_o vice_n to_o which_o our_o corrupt_a nature_n do_v most_o propend_v if_o the_o dutch_a can_v leave_v his_o drunkenness_n the_o italian_a his_o lustfulness_n the_o french_a his_o factiousness_n the_o spaniard_n his_o haughtiness_n the_o
