t
45
do
;
for
the
fins
of
your youth
may
be a
torment to
your
old
age
:
it
may
be
you
little think
of
it
;
but
remember, when
you are old God
may come
and
reckon with you for the
fins
of
your
youth
:
'tis
and
fhould
be a
great argument to
make
people to
take
heed
of
fin
;
for
thofe
fins
thou
committeflr
now
may
do
thee
a
mifchief
forty or
fixty
years
hence
;
as
in
t
he
natural
body,
many young
men
though they
feel
no
diflem-
pers
in
their
bodies
for the prefent,
and fo
care not for
their
diet,
nor how
to avoid Surfeits
:
yet
after
they grow old,then
they
feel
their diflempers
in
their
joynts and
bones
, which
is
no
other
than their drunkennefs
and intemperance
when
they were young
;
fo
'tis
in
regard of
the
foul, many in
their
younger
years do
greatly
follow
after wickednefs,
and
be-
caufe
they
hear
not
of
it
,
they
go away
and never
are
trou-
bled
;
but
afterwards
in
their old age,
God
comes
upon them
for
the
fins
of
their youth
:
f
oab
when
he was
young commit-
ted
fin, but
when
his
hoary
head,
was on
him,
God
then
came
to him
in
wrath
for
it
;
and
therefore
think not
all
thy
fins
are pardoned,
becaufe
'tis
a
great
while ago
fence
they
were committed
but
rather
reckon
up
thy former
(iris
and
bewail
them,
and
do not
ref
on this
ground,
becaufe
'tis
long
fence
they were
committed, 'ds
not
to
be
built
upon,you
muff
look for
other grounds, or
elfe
you
are
undone
for
ever,
for
this will
certainly
fail
you.
Fourthly,
Others reafon
that
God
ha4
pardoned
their
fns,
not
only
becaufe they
have
been
committed
a
great
while
ago;but they
have had
prof
erity,it
bath
been well
with
them, and
God
has
done them good
;
and
certainly if God
had
not pardoned
their
fins,
God
would never
have let
them
thrive. I
(hall
fpeak
but
little to this
,
for thefe reafonings
are
very
vain
,
(there
are
others
I
(hall
more
infifl
upon
;)
know
this,
thou
makef
it
an
argument
of
Gods pardoning
mercy
,
it
may*
rather
be
an
argument
of Gods
eternal
curfe
,
for
God
to
fuffer
a
man
to profper
much
after great
fins
committed
,
it
is a
liga
that God
bath given that
man
over
to hardnefs
of
heart
,
which
is
the
mof
dreadful curfe
in
the
world
;
after
God
had
re-
je&ed
Saul,
x
Sam.14.15.
Chapters,you
may
read Saul had
a
great
deal
of
fncce
