God must néedes be the greatest of all euils and that euil is called sinne for sin depriueth a man of the chiefest good which is God and therfore sinne must be the greatest euill of all other Will you sée how sin is opposite and contrarie vnto the thrée properties of good and so by consequence vnto God namely vnto honestie profite and delite then giue you me leaue a litle to examine each propertie apart and with patience and attention harken what I shal say First of all Sin as the Philosophers define it being no positiue thing but a priuation or taking away it is as much to say it hath in it nothing that is good but taketh from a man all that is good And the chiefest property wherein goodnes consisteth and without the which there can indéede be no goodnes is honestie and that sinne depriueth a man of for sin in his owne nature is shameful and opposit vnto honesty in so much as it is written Qui malè agit odit lucem He that doth euil he hateth the light Sinne is a worke of darknes it feareth to be séene it is loth to come to the light it séeketh darke places and secret corners Examples of this matter we haue great store euerie man can witnes it in his own conscience Adam so séene as he had sinned in Paradice Gen. 3. that he sawe himselfe to be naked was he not ashamed did he not hide himselfe from the presence of the Lord What shall we say of Dauid that after he had committed adultery with Bethsabe in sending for Vrias home in procuring him to goe home to fléepe with his wife in giuing him meat and drinke apt for that purpose was it for any other thing but that he was ashamed of his fact he would faine haue had the matter couered but it would not bee the Lord did bolt it out sending Nathan the Prophet to him who reprehēded him of his falt 2 Sam. 11. then hee could crye Peccatum meum coram me est se mper My sinne is alwaies in my sight Psal 51. I am ashamed O Lord of that which I haue done This may you sée how opposite a thing sinne is vnto honestie that it bringeth with it nothing else but confusion and shame Let vs now sée how it contrarieth the second propertie of goodnes which is profite How vnprofitable a thing sinne is To speake of the disprofite that sin bringeth if I should say so much as might be sayd I should neuer make an end what greater disprofite can it be to a man or woman thē to loose their soule eternally In so much as our Sauiour him selfe saieth Mat. 16.26 What shall it profit a man to haue gayned the whole worlde and after shall sustaine the losse of his soule or what exchaunge or commutation can a man make for his soul Shall I bréefly discurre vnto you what losse sin did bring Note first in the Aungels them selues Gen. 1. who for sinne were depriued for euer from the vision of God and are now damned for euermore For sinne Adam and Eue were exyled Paradice Gen. 3. and al their posteritie made subiect to death miserie For sinne the whole world was drowned Gen. 7. 8. persons excepted For sinne Sodom and Gomorrha with other Cities there adiacent were consumed and burnt by fire Gen. 19. and all the people perished For sinne the Children of Israell were caried twise captiue 2 Reg. 17. once vnder Salmanasar king of the Assirians and an other time vnder Nabuchodonosor king of Babilon besides a number other plagues and losses the came to them through sin 2 Reg. 25. Finallie sinne brought such a losse vnto mankinde as the raunsome therof was neuer able to be paied but by the death and passion of Iesus Christ the onely sonne of the liuing God Let this at this time suffice for the losse or disprofit that commeth vnto mā or woman by sinne Perhaps this matter or losse may be requited with the delite that sinne bringeth with it and so great may be the delite the a man careth neither for honestie nor profit If it bee so then let vs consider the delite that sin bringeth a part and sée what is the pleasure that a mā receiueth in the cōmitting of sinne And that is the third property of goodnes that I haue to speak of namely delite And now shall you sée how opposite a thing sin is vnto delite also Sinne as I said is a thing opposite vnto that part of good which is called delight for it is a most sad and sorrowfull euil full of griefe and pensiuenes Sin is so sad and pensiue a thing that it doth not onely bring a man vnto eternall death but it leaueth a man full of trouble and griefe also in this life The iustice of God can not suffer the guilt of sin to be vnpunished And therfore the Prophet Ieremie gaue vs to vnderstand the euil of sinne in this point Ier. 8. when he said Know thou and sée how euill and bitter a thing it is to haue forsaken the Lord thy God For besides the eternall and euerlasting punishment which excéedeth al other punishmentes and I haue no leisure to stād to discourse vpon at this time I wil reckon vp four greate euils that it bringeth vnto a man or woman in this life which no man what soeuer hee bee can by any means auoid The first is the sting of a mans conscience which hee hath pricking within after he hath committed the sinne Of al other thinges how swéete soeuer sin séemeth in the beginning it hath the vilest end yea such an ende that it bringeth many a man or woman vnto desperation after they haue committed a wicked fact When a man hath satisfyed his filthy lust what lothsomnes doth he finde remaining in his soule and conscience a fitter example I cannot giue you then Amon Dauids sonne who falling in loue with his Sister Thamar in such wise 2 Sam. 13 as he almost perished for loue and lust yet when he had accomplished his will and purpose there remained such a lothsomnes behind of sinne that he could neuer abide to looke vpon Thamar afterward And this I dare be bold to say that there is no sinner aliue let him bée neuer so shamelesse and impudent in his sinne let him face and braue it out with neuer so desperate a minde yet he can not so extinguish that touch of conscience but his soule at one time or other shall finde the torment of the same The second euill that sinne bringeth to a man or woman to contrarie delite is shame of the which for that I haue touched it alreadie I wil spare to speak any more of it but come vnto the Text. The third euil that sinne bringeth in this life to contrarie delight is feare of punishment for the sinfull man after he hath committed a naughtie fact he is by and by afraid Hee knoweth ther
