Hence in the firfi place ( the uie might be very large ) what alai! become of thole that rejoyce in fin, thofe that can be merry in fin, thofe that can fin and laugh in their fin, thofe teat are £rollick in -their wickednei3e, that make their fin to be their May -game, and the chiefet+ delight that they have in the world ; There are many men that have no greater delight here in this world, then the fatisfying themfelves in their Im- full wayes, and in their lulls : ó dreadfull,dreadfull Condition that thou art in;and dread-full is the wickedneffe of thy foule; hate thou nothing elfe to make the Joy of thy foule, but onely that that fitikes at the bleffed God hiinfelte, onely that that caufed Jefus Chritl to be heavie to the death , and to fweat dodders of blood, and to cry out, My God, my God, why haf6' thou forfiken ?
