so_o simple_a will_v you_o be_v such_o a_o fool_n to_o shake_v at_o the_o word_n of_o a_o teacher_n alas_o alas_o it_o be_v not_o conscience_n it_o be_v but_o conceit_n in_o this_o case_n and_o so_o at_o last_o the_o poor_a sinner_n fall_v off_o again_o by_o the_o enticement_n of_o satan_n and_o carnal_a counsel_n of_o wicked_a man_n and_o at_o last_o the_o lord_n let_v in_o horror_n and_o anguish_n and_o vexation_n into_o the_o conscience_n and_o set_v the_o very_a flash_n of_o hell_n fire_n upon_o his_o face_n and_o now_o scoff_n and_o scorn_n will_v not_o serve_v the_o turn_n for_o the_o poor_a soul_n say_v now_o i_o find_v that_o it_o be_v not_o conceit_n that_o trouble_v i_o for_o the_o flash_n of_o hell_n have_v be_v in_o my_o face_n and_o all_o the_o opposition_n against_o god_n and_o his_o truth_n all_o the_o taunt_n and_o scoff_n against_o god_n and_o his_o servant_n and_o all_o my_o abomination_n that_o ever_o i_o commit_v i_o tell_v you_o i_o see_v they_o all_o set_v before_o i_o and_o i_o see_v hell_n open_a in_o conclusion_n and_o god_n execute_v judgement_n upon_o i_o for_o my_o sin_n now_o when_o his_o companion_n see_v he_o in_o this_o humour_n they_o think_v a_o scoff_n will_v not_o chase_v away_o this_o horror_n for_o he_o tell_v they_o it_o be_v not_o your_o scoff_n that_o will_v do_v it_o now_o no_o no_o i_o be_o go_v to_o hell_n and_o you_o will_v follow_v after_o i_o as_o fast_o as_o may_v be_v you_o hale_v i_o to_o drunkenness_n and_o adultery_n and_o other_o base_a course_n you_o draw_v i_o to_o ungodly_a practice_n and_o therefore_o you_o shall_v to_o hell_n as_o well_o as_o i_o do_v you_o think_v that_o i_o shall_v go_v to_o hell_n and_o you_o not_o make_v haste_n after_o i_o do_v you_o think_v that_o i_o shall_v be_v damn_v and_o you_o not_o be_v plague_v when_o his_o companion_n see_v this_o than_o they_o leave_v scoff_v and_o gibe_v of_o he_o and_o dare_v not_o appear_v themselves_o but_o the_o devil_n he_o transform_v himself_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n a_o drunkard_n will_v not_o now_o come_v unto_o he_o in_o the_o coat_n of_o a_o drunkard_n but_o he_o take_v the_o coat_n of_o some_o seem_a grave_n man_n upon_o he_o and_o he_o must_v set_v upon_o he_o and_o tell_v he_o how_o the_o case_n stand_v and_o this_o carnal_a man_n do_v three_o thing_n to_o draw_v away_o the_o heart_n from_o god_n in_o this_o kind_n first_o he_o delude_v conscience_n and_o tell_v he_o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n in_o fear_n but_o nothing_o in_o deed_n thou_o say_v he_o be_v sinful_a and_o god_n be_v merciful_a thou_o have_v be_v a_o adulterer_n so_o be_v david_n and_o he_o do_v nothing_o but_o say_v i_o have_v sin_v and_o he_o be_v forgive_v oh_o but_o say_v the_o poor_a soul_n david_n be_v a_o break_a heart_a man_n and_o this_o break_v his_o very_a bone_n well_o when_o he_o see_v this_o will_v not_o do_v than_o second_o he_o must_v get_v he_o to_o card_n and_o to_o dice_n to_o sport_n and_o to_o play_n until_o his_o conscience_n be_v benume_v and_o sear_v and_o then_o three_o all_o goodness_n must_v be_v keep_v from_o he_o in_o these_o case_n especial_o they_o will_v be_v sure_a that_o he_o do_v not_o look_v upon_o a_o bible_n lest_o by_o that_o mean_v he_o may_v be_v draw_v away_o again_o now_o the_o lord_n be_v merciful_a unto_o we_o the_o poor_a man_n by_o counsel_n on_o one_o side_n and_o allurement_n on_o the_o other_o whereas_o before_o his_o soul_n be_v a_o little_a enlighten_v and_o his_o conscience_n awaken_v now_o he_o begin_v to_o turn_v a_o devil_n he_o fly_v about_o as_o though_o hell_n be_v break_v loose_a he_o care_v not_o what_o he_o do_v for_o the_o dishonour_n of_o god_n and_o damn_v of_o his_o own_o soul_n so_o that_o by_o this_o time_n you_o see_v the_o subtlety_n of_o man_n in_o this_o kind_n will_v you_o now_o know_v the_o condition_n of_o these_o man_n i_o tell_v you_o if_o there_o be_v any_o wretched_a miserable_a woeful_a accurse_a damn_a people_n in_o the_o world_n i_o can_v tell_v who_o they_o be_v unless_o these_o be_v they_o and_o therefore_o observe_v the_o woefulness_n of_o their_o condition_n in_o three_o respect_n first_o they_o be_v most_o like_a the_o devil_n second_o they_o be_v most_o opposite_a to_o god_n three_o they_o be_v the_o great_a enemy_n to_o man_n salvation_n first_o they_o that_o oppose_v this_o work_n o●_n conversion_n and_o salvation_n be_v as_o like_o the_o devil_n as_o can_v be_v act_v 13.8_o the_o text_n say_v when_o paul_n be_v to_o deal_v with_o sergius_n paulus_n the_o deputy_n lieutenant_n of_o the_o country_n the_o deputy_n call_v for_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n and_o desire_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n now_o elymas_n the_o sorcerer_n who_o be_v with_o the_o deputy_n see_v the_o wind_n in_o that_o door_n paul_n he_o will_v have_v draw_v the_o deputy_n to_o the_o faith_n but_o elymas_n he_o withstand_v he_o seek_v to_o turn_v he_o away_o from_o the_o faith_n now_o mark_v what_o paul_n say_v unto_o he_o i_o will_v not_o say_v so_o may_v i_o dare_v not_o speak_v it_o but_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v plain_a then_o say_v the_o text_n paul_n be_v full_a of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n set_v his_o eye_n on_o he_o and_o say_v oh_o full_a of_o all_o subtlety_n and_o mischief_n thou_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n thou_o enemy_n to_o all_o righteousness_n will_v thou_o not_o cease_v to_o pervert_v the_o way_n of_o god_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v here_o be_v the_o very_a claw_n and_o paw_n of_o the_o devil_n he_o be_v not_o only_o naught_o himself_o but_o hinder_v other_o from_o do_v good_a gen._n 3.17_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v commit_v that_o threaten_n unto_o adam_n and_o eve_n that_o in_o that_o day_n that_o they_o eat_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a they_o shall_v sure_o perish_v so_o long_o as_o the_o woman_n can_v believe_v that_o threaten_a she_o be_v well_o enough_o now_o satan_n perceive_v this_o come_v and_o take_v away_o the_o life_n of_o the_o threaten_a and_o the_o power_n of_o the_o command_n and_o gainsayd_v the_o word_n of_o god_n what_o say_v he_o have_v god_n say_v that_o you_o shall_v not_o eat_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a and_o in_o that_o day_n you_o eat_v thereof_o you_o shall_v die_v no_o no_o say_v he_o you_o shall_v not_o sure_o die_v at_o all_o for_o god_n do_v know_v that_o in_o that_o day_n you_o eat_v thereof_o your_o eye_n shall_v be_v open_v and_o you_o shall_v be_v as_o god_n know_v good_a and_o evil_a first_o he_o take_v away_o the_o edge_n of_o the_o command_n and_o cause_v the_o woman_n to_o slight_v the_o threaten_n what_o do_v god_n say_v you_o shall_v die_v you_o shall_v not_o die_v at_o all_o but_o be_v as_o god_n know_v good_a and_o evil_a as_o who_o shall_v say_v god_n do_v this_o for_o his_o own_o end_n for_o he_o know_v when_o you_o do_v this_o you_o shall_v be_v like_a unto_o god_n thus_o the_o devil_n do_v in_o the_o beginning_n and_o look_v what_o he_o do_v that_o his_o child_n do_v now_o they_o that_o oppose_v this_o work_n of_o god_n they_o have_v the_o trick_n of_o their_o father_n up_o and_o down_o they_o be_v as_o like_v the_o devil_n as_o if_o he_o have_v spew_v they_o out_o of_o his_o mouth_n the_o lord_n say_v he_o that_o kill_v shall_v sure_o die_v the_o death_n this_o the_o truth_n say_v and_o minister_n say_v but_o they_o say_v there_o be_v no_o such_o matter_n god_n be_v gracious_a and_o merciful_a god_n do_v this_o to_o fear_v man_n not_o to_o vex_v man_n and_o they_o slight_v that_o commandment_n of_o god_n also_o thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o as_o thy_o life_n and_o as_o thy_o soul_n but_o they_o say_v though_o the_o word_n say_v so_o yet_o it_o be_v no_o matter_n whether_o man_n obey_v that_o commandment_n or_o no_o the_o devil_n do_v so_o from_o the_o beginning_n and_o they_o do_v so_o now_o what_o say_v the_o devil_n do_v god_n say_v that_o you_o shall_v not_o eat_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a and_o in_o the_o day_n you_o eat_v thereof_o you_o shall_v die_v why_o you_o shall_v not_o die_v at_o all_o what_o say_v they_o do_v the_o minister_n say_v that_o your_o conscience_n must_v be_v awaken_v and_o your_o heart_n must_v
