:
It
is
not
enough
for thee
that thou
feeft this thy fin, and
thou
art
forty for
it,
and thou
wilt

them
if

and
io
feek
now to
do
theta
as
much good for
their
fouls,
as thou

a
caufe

fin,
that thou wert
a caufe
to
draw them to,

dead,
and
fo

as
for ought

him
of
that
fin;
now
then
fee
what
a
cafe thou
art
in
:
there
is
one drawn
to
a
fin
by
thee, and
now hee
is
in
Hell
fo.$
that
fin
that

a
fin
that
thou
wert the
caufe
of, and
dolt thou think alwaies

here
is
the dreadful
eflate
that
any man brings
himfelf
to
,
when hee draws others to
fin
:
thou hadft
need
to
look about
thee,
and thy
heart
to
bee
aff'eeced
with
that fin that
hath
been
punifhed
with the
eternal damnation
of
thofe
fouls
that
thou haft
drawn
to
that
fn.
-
--
And
not onely
by
temp-
ting to
fin,
but
by
incouraging
to
fin,
by
diffwading from
that
that is
good
:
It
may bee fome fouls
have been
in
a
good forwardnefs
to that
which
is
goad
,
they'
have begun
to inquire after
the
waies
of
God',
but
have
gotten into
thy
company,
and
thou
haft
fought
to
take
them
off;
and
what,
will
you bee
fuch
fools
as
tß
beleeve every
thing
that
is
Paid,
and
you
wilhbee melancholly and
mad
:
and
who
are
they but
a
company
of fmple
people
that
dò
this
and'thus?
and thus thou
haft
been
a
Means
to
hinder
the good
work
of
God
in others, and
to
draw
`
them from the
good way
that
they
were
a
beginning
to
[et
their
feet
in,'
and now
they
begin
to
bee
out of
love
with the
good
wales
of
God
,
and thou haft been
the
caufe
of
it
:
Now, if
there fouls
petit'',
and
it
may
bee
fome
ofthem are in Hell
already
;
truly,
if
a
mans
heart we:e
as
hard
as any
Iron
,
or
Steel
