don will
bee
the
more
dreadful
to them
;
and
it
is
thus
with
many that
have many good workings in and upon their
hearts,
fo
that
th
ÿ.
are
in
a
very
good
forwardnefs,
unto
the
everlafting
falvation of their fouls, and yet there
doth
come fome
lull
that
doth
drive them
back again
:
The
lofs
of
the
fouls
of
hypocrites therefore
will
bee
dreadful to con-
fider
:
I
that
was
in
fo
fair
a
way
tolalvation
in the
ufe
of
means,
and content
to
leave
fo many evil
waies,
and yet
that
I
fhould have
one
that
I
would
not leave,
and
for
this
have
I loll
my
foul;
I
that
was
contented to
take
up
fo
ma-
ny
duties,
and yet by
my
hearts embracing of one
finful
to
lofe
my foul;
as
Herod beard
John
Bapuji gladly, and
hee
reformed many
things,
and
'
yet bee
had
one
fin
that
bee
would not
part withall
:
Thole
that
are the
neareft the
fair
vatianoftheir
fouls,
and
yet
loft
at
laft,
this will bee a
great
aggravation
of the
mifery
thereof.
An
eighth aggravation
of
the
lofs
of
the
foul,
is
this, The
confideration
that they
have
loft
their fouls, and
that
fa,
as
that
they
have nothing in
lieu of
ahem
;
they
(hall
`
ndt
onely lofe their
fouls, but
they
¡ball even lofe the thing
for which
they did venture
the
lots
of their
fouls As
for
example,
if
a
man
fhould
have his
heart
fo
fet upon
a
trine,
as
to lofe
his
whole eftare for
it,
and
after
hoe
:
bath
I
oil
his
eftate
for
it,
hee
Ihould
lofethat
thingfor
which
bee
toff
his
eítate
too
;
this
would
:aggravate,
the lots
of
his
efha
e
much more
:
Juft
fo,
if
you
do
lofs
your
fouls
for
the
world
,
or
for
pleal`ure;
if
your
foulspertth
, I
fay..yee
fhall
both
lofe
your
fouls
,
and
that
thing, bee
it
what
it
will, far
which you
ventured and
Loft
your 'fouls.
Andthou thalt hive
no more
ileafure nor
content
than
thofe
that did
not venture
the'l.ofs
of
their
fouls for
it.
The
ninth
age n
nation
of
the
lofs
of
the foul, is
The
fhame
that

upon
thole
fouls
