their_o posterity_n dear_a young_a man_n labour_v to_o overcome_v this_o temptation_n of_o the_o wicked_a one_o by_o the_o delight_n and_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n by_o take_v into_o your_o most_o serious_a thought_n these_o few_o consideration_n 1._o consider_v that_o all_o the_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n be_v low_a mean_a empty_a thin_a unsatisfy_v pleasure_n they_o be_v sensual_a and_o br●…itish_a a_o beast_n can_v find_v 〈◊〉_d pleasure_n in_o the_o most_o of_o they_o than_o you_o can_v do_v who_o be_v capable_a of_o high_a pleasure_n these_o delight_n may_v please_v your_o sensual_a appe●…te_n but_o they_o can_v satisfy_v your_o rational_a soul_n they_o may_v satiate_v and_o glut_v the_o sense_n but_o they_o can_v content_v the_o heart_n the_o devil_n and_o lust_n may_v promise_v full_a satisfaction_n and_o contentment_n if_o you_o will_v commit_v such_o and_o such_o sin_n but_o they_o always_o fall_v short_a in_o the_o performance_n i_o will_v ask_v these_o three_o question_n of_o the_o most_o luxurious_a person_n 1._o whether_o ever_o they_o find_v so_o much_o pleasure_n in_o any_o sin_n as_o they_o expect_v and_o desire_v 2._o whether_o the_o choice_a of_o their_o pleasure_n have_v not_o in_o a_o short_a time_n bring_v a_o weariness_n and_o trouble_n upon_o their_o spirit_n 3._o whether_o this_o weariness_n and_o trouble_n have_v not_o be_v more_o irksome_a and_o grievous_a to_o they_o than_o their_o sensual_a pleasure_n have_v be_v please_v and_o delightful_a yea_o let_v i_o add_v a_o four_o if_o among_o the_o choice_a and_o chief_a of_o their_o delight_n in_o which_o thev_n find_v most_o sweetness_n they_o have_v but_o one_o delight_n without_o change_n and_o variety_n whether_o that_o delight_n will_v not_o quick_o lose_v its_o nature_n and_o prove_v a_o torment_n to_o they_o if_o they_o be_v bind_v always_o to_o eat_v or_o continual_o to_o drink_v or_o without_o intermission_n to_o be_v always_o in_o the_o act_n of_o adultery_n will_v not_o this_o be_v more_o bitter_a than_o sweet_a these_o pleasure_n be_v unsatisfy_v the_o soul_n can_v be_v satisfy_v with_o nothing_o beneath_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o god_n by_o who_o and_o for_o who_o it_o be_v make_v 2._o consider_v the_o shortness_n of_o these_o pleasure_n the_o apostle_n call_v they_o pleasure_n of_o sin_n for_o a_o season_n heb._n 11._o 25._o and_o as_o

unto_o they_o and_o those_o that_o be_v most_o durable_a they_o quick_o flit_v away_o as_o a_o cloud_n or_o vapour_n which_o if_o not_o blow_v away_o by_o the_o wind_n they_o vanish_v of_o their_o own_o accord_n if_o the_o stormy_a wind_n of_o outward_a affliction_n do_v not_o puff_n out_o the_o candle_n of_o wicked_a man_n joy_n yet_o the_o day_n of_o old_a age_n be_v draw_v on_o in_o which_o

can_v endure_v to_o look_v back_o on_o sin_n with_o fore-thought_n of_o the_o account_n they_o must_v give_v unto_o god_n for_o it_o sin_n though_o never_o so_o pleasant_a will_v in_o a_o short_a
