WE haue done with the aduertisement it selfe and are now come to the reasons by which it is enforced The first reason runneth thus because albeit the gate and way which the most affect be wide and broad full of pleasing and full of company yet in the end it leadeth to destruction By the gate and way mentioned in this first reason is meant the same which elsewhere is called the way of a Psalm 1.1 sinners a way that is not b Psalm 36.4 good the way of c Ps 119.104 falshood an d Prou. 2.12 euill way it is the gate and way which by nature we all trauaile in therefore it is tearmed our e Jsay 53.6 owne way the way of our owne f Jsay 57.17 heart because it is a way which of our selues without a guide wee go into and which of our selues wee are neuer either able or willing to forsake It is said to be a wide and a broad way Wherefore it is called a way wide and broade because it is a way of libertie to the flesh and giues a man leaue to run any course which his owne priuate corrupt humor doth affect it is a way which imposeth no conditions of restraint but whatsoeuer a man led by the lusts of his owne heart bends vnto it allureth him to it and seemeth to say as the flattering chaplaynes did to g 1.

First heere we learne that albeit the way of sinne be for the present time in the sense and seeming of flesh blood very delightfull yet the reward thereof is miserie and the end destruction This is the expresse doctrine of the Text and it is easily iustified by the Scripture First in generall it is said of all sinne that the i Rom. 6 23. wages thereof is death and that the end of the wicked shall be k Psal 37.38 cut off Secondly in particular of seuerall sinnes the Word of God speaketh very expressely to this purpose Of adultery Salomon saith describing the fashion of a harlot that indeed her chamber is richly deckt her bed persumed and her words very intising but saith he her house is the way to the l Prou. 7.27 graue which goeth downe to the chambers of death and her m Prou. 9.18 guests are in the depth of hell Of deceite The bread of deceit is sweete to a man but afterward his mouth shall be filled with n Prou. 20.17 grauell Of diūkennes The wine sheweth the colour in the cup and goeth downe pleasantly but in the end thereof it will bite like a Serpent and hurt like a o Prou. 23.32 Cockatrise Of the vanity of youth Reioyce O young mā in thy youth walke in the wayes of thy heart and in the sight of thine eies but know that for al these things God will bring thee to p Eccles. 11.9 iudgement In all these here is a broad pleasant way giuing liberty and scope enough vnto flesh and blood but the end of all is destruction The sweet meats of wickednes will haue the sowre sauce of wretchednes and miserie we may see the same also verified by examples Eue was made beleeue by the Diuell that if she would aduenture to eate of the forbidden tree she should receiue by it great aduancement yee shall be as q Genes 3 5.7 gods knowing good and euill equiuocating with her as our state Papists do now a daies and beguiling her with doubtfulnesse of termes Well shee saw the tree was good for meate pleasant to the eye and to be desired to get knowledge heere was a way broad and faire enough and she tooke and gaue to her husband and they both did eate But see now whither this way leades them Then saith the Text their eyes were opened and they knew they were naked the beginning seemed to delight and to giue hope of great contentment but the fruit was griefe and the end confusion the issue cleane contrary to that which was expected No doubt the murdering of Abel for the time gaue very good satisfaction to the malicious and bloud thirsting humor of Cam but hee which lookes vpon the reckoning which followed and considereth how
