the_o consequent_n of_o theft_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o end_n propound_v to_o every_o action_n and_o every_o one_o shall_v consider_v whether_o the_o ensue_a disadvantage_n will_v not_o outweigh_v all_o the_o advantage_n that_o can_v be_v hope_v for_o but_o the_o thief_n must_v be_v a_o man_n void_a of_o consideration_n and_o one_o in_o who_o nothing_o but_o desperate_a folly_n and_o madness_n bear_v sway_n for_o he_o make_v the_o worst_a choice_n of_o any_o man_n live_v and_o in_o a_o short_a time_n must_v necessary_o conclude_v that_o the_o miserable_a beggar_n that_o be_v honest_a be_v

vile_a i_o shall_v consider_v the_o consequence_n of_o it_o in_o three_o respect_n 1._o it_o bring_v intolerable_a pain_n and_o uneasiness_n to_o the_o mind_n there_o have_v be_v many_o instance_n which_o show_v that_o the_o conscience_n of_o a_o thief_n be_v not_o so_o fast_o asleep_a as_o many_o honest_a man_n that_o be_v rob_v by_o he_o nor_o can_v they_o bind_v that_o so_o fast_o from_o stir_v and_o cry_v thief_n as_o sometime_o they_o bound_v those_o that_o be_v awake_a the_o thief_n go_v up_o and_o down_o the_o world_n with_o a_o curse_n very_o like_a to_o cain_n he_o be_v afraid_a that_o every_o one_o that_o meet_v he_o shall_v lay_v hold_n on_o he_o in_o order_n to_o the_o take_v away_o of_o his_o life_n the_o fear_n and_o terror_n of_o thief_n be_v excellent_o describe_v by_o job_n as_o well_o as_o their_o wicked_a trade_n job_n 24_o 16_o 17._o in_o the_o dark_a they_o dig_v through_o house_n which_o they_o have_v mark_v for_o themselves_o in_o the_o daytime_n they_o know_v not_o the_o light_n for_o the_o morning_n be_v to_o they_o even_o as_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n if_o one_o know_v they_o they_o be_v in_o the_o terror_n of_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n their_o employment_n in_o the_o daytime_n be_v to_o find_v out_o a_o house_n which_o they_o may_v rob_v in_o the_o night_n and_o in_o rob_v another_o they_o rob_v themselves_o of_o their_o peace_n and_o quiet_a when_o the_o day_n come_v they_o can_v say_v that_o they_o care_v not_o who_o know_v they_o for_o if_o there_o be_v but_o one_o that_o know_v they_o they_o be_v present_o in_o the_o

as_o wickedness_n for_o whatever_o the_o steal_a good_n be_v worth_a they_o can_v answer_v the_o fear_n and_o terror_n which_o immediate_o follow_v and_o be_v of_o long_a continuance_n i_o be_v many_o year_n since_o a_o spectator_n at_o the_o execution_n of_o a_o old_a man_n who_o as_o it_o appear_v too_o late_o suffer_v wrongful_o as_o he_o protest_v his_o innocency_n relate_v to_o that_o for_o which_o he_o be_v condemn_v other_o thief_n have_v throw_v the_o steal_a good_n under_o a_o shop_n where_o he_o lay_v asleep_a so_o he_o confess_v that_o when_o he_o be_v a_o young_a man_n he_o steal_v a_o handkerchief_n from_o a_o hedge_n which_o be_v a_o trouble_n to_o he_o all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n he_o add_v that_o he_o always_o think_v he_o shall_v be_v hang_v because_o of_o that_o handkerchief_n it_o be_v a_o small_a theft_n that_o he_o be_v guilty_a of_o but_o the_o trouble_n of_o his_o mind_n be_v very_o great_a and_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n justice_n a_o continue_a terror_n i_o shall_v mention_v one_o more_o among_o many_o which_o i_o have_v from_o a_o condemn_a malefactor_n by_o which_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o terror_n of_o death_n do_v sometime_o take_v hold_n on_o thief_n and_o will_v not_o let_v they_o go_v though_o none_o know_v they_o one_o of_o the_o gang_n be_v on_o a_o sudden_a surprise_v with_o a_o terrible_a apprehension_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v take_v though_o he_o have_v not_o hear_v of_o any_o pursuit_n or_o warrant_n that_o be_v against_o he_o he_o discover_v his_o fear_n to_o this_o person_n and_o withal_o tell_v he_o that_o he_o know_v he_o shall_v be_v execute_v and_o that_o he_o shall_v upon_o his_o examination_n discover_v he_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o companion_n he_o be_v desire_v if_o he_o can_v not_o otherwise_o be_v rid_v of_o his_o fear_n to_o go_v beyond_o the_o sea_n but_o he_o reply_v that_o he_o have_v not_o power_n to_o do_v it_o hereupon_o in_o a_o private_a consult_v they_o resolve_v to_o

the_o consequent_a of_o wickedness_n the_o person_n from_o who_o i_o have_v this_o account_n tell_v i_o that_o he_o be_v the_o chief_a actor_n in_o it_o and_o that_o it_o have_v be_v a_o unspeakable_a

passage_n which_o be_v the_o consequent_a of_o his_o murder_n he_o soon_o hear_v of_o the_o dead_a body_n of_o a_o man_n wash_v up_o at_o westminster_n and_o although_o he_o be_v terrible_o afraid_a that_o if_o he_o see_v it_o the_o corpse_n will_v bleed_v o●_n there_o will_v somewhat_o happen_v which_o will_v be_v trey_n he_o yet_o he_o can_v not_o forbear_v go_v to_o see_v if_o it_o be_v the_o same_o person_n but_o it_o prove_v to_o be_v another_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o a_o thief_n can_v think_v of_o any_o thing_n so_o often_o as_o a_o jail_n and_o the_o gallow_n hell_n and_o destruction_n how_o then_o can_v his_o mind_n be_v at_o ease_n 2._o consider_v the_o consequence_n of_o theft_n in_o reference_n to_o outward_a concern_v 1._o it_o be_v a_o sin_n which_o make_v every_o man_n turn_v his_o enemy_n who_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o i_o may_v say_v of_o the_o thief_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v of_o other_o person_n they_o please_v not_o god_n and_o be_v contrary_a to_o all_o man_n it_o be_v a_o sin_n so_o abominable_a that_o so_o far_o as_o any_o be_v suspect_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o they_o be_v abhor_v the_o day_n of_o their_o execution_n be_v a_o joyful_a day_n to_o the_o world._n thief_n be_v not_o only_o hate_v of_o good_a man_n but_o they_o be_v such_o vile_a servant_n of_o the_o devil_n a_o be_v hate_v of_o all_o their_o fellow-servant_n those_o that_o be_v most_o wicked_a in_o other_o respect_n hate_v a_o thief_n the_o world_n ever_o cry_v out_o against_o they_o in_o job_n time_n who_o be_v suppose_v to_o have_v live_v before_o moses_n there_o be_v cry_v after_o a_o thief_n job_n 30.5_o and_o our_o saviour_n expression_n mark_v 14.48_o suppose_v that_o man_n be_v always_o ready_a with_o sword_n and_o staff_n to_o take_v a_o thief_n they_o must_v needs_o be_v hate_v because_o man_n be_v always_o afraid_a of_o they_o left_z their_z shop_n shall_v be_v rob_v in_o the_o day_n and_o their_o pocket_n pick_v or_o that_o their_o

devour_v they_o be_v such_o plague_n to_o the_o world_n that_o our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o heaven_n be_v a_o place_n of_o happiness_n because_o there_o be_v none_o there_o mat._n 6.20_o lay_v up_o for_o yourselves_o treasure_n in_o heaven_n where_o thief_n can_v break_v through_o and_o steal_v under_o this_o head_n i_o may_v consider_v what_o a_o thief_n be_v to_o all_o his_o honest_a relation_n such_o a_o shame_n that_o it_o be_v great_a incivility_n to_o speak_v of_o he_o in_o their_o company_n or_o so_o much_o as_o to_o mention_v his_o name_n if_o stranger_n be_v present_a if_o
