All wicked ones doe sinne both inconsiderately, and delightfully.Iob 5. 2. Prov. 10. 9.

Sin increased by Godly and wicked.

Adams consenting brought forth Eating, flying, and excusing.Gen. 3. Iosh. 7. Exod. 32. 2 King. 22. 2 Sam. 11. Matth. 14. Gen. 27. 19.

Achans coveting brought forth Stealing with concealing.

Aarons ob…ying brought forth The golden calfes making.

Ahabs greedinesse brought forth discontent; with Naboths ruine.

Davids concupiscence brought forth adulterie, murther, dissembling.

Herods banquetting brought forth dancing; with Iohns beheading.

Iacobs faining brought forth disguising, fraud, and lying.

Few of the Godly, not any of the wicked that are named in the Book of God, but have added sinne unto sinne: So that by many degrees of iniquitie they have climbed to the height of impietie.

Idlenesse Brings forth Adulteri….

Prodigalitie Brings forth Luxurie.

Riches Brings forth Covetousnesse.

Covetousnesse Brings forth Usurie, and Unconscionableness.

A reprobate sence Brings forth scorning of godliness.

Pride Brings forth Insolence.

Discontent Brings forth Faction.

Hypocrisie Brings forth Dissimulation.

A prophane hear… Brings forth Jesting.

Presumption Brings forth Desperation.

Malice Brings forth Murther.

Unmanly weakness of minde Flatterie and Envie.

Envie Malecontent.

Nō-residency of Ministers Killing of Soules

Honours Ambition.

Ambition Corruption.

Pleasures Lust.

Lust begets A wanton eye.

Lust begets A lascivious ear.

Lust begets Filthy Jests.

Thus man proceeds from evill to evill, waxing worse and worse,Ier. 9. 3, 5. 2 Tim. 3. 13. Hos. 4. 2. Deut. 29. 13. Isai. 5. 1…. Rom. 6. 19. Ier. 13. 23. Isai. 30. 1. Ch. 43. 24.

By Swearing, lying, killing, stealing, and whoring men breake out, and bloud toucheth bloud: Drunkennesse is added to thirst: Sinne is drawne on as it were with a cart-rope; So that the Black a more may sooner change his Hue, and the Leopard his spots, then they that are accustomed to sinne can leave the same.

They cover with a covering, not with my Spirit: (saith God) that they may adde sin to sin: They will not take counsell of me, &c.

Use.

Seeing one sin begets another, let us take heed how we accustome our selves inEcclus. 7. 8. sinning: for that sin which may be conquered of us when it is young, will easily conquer us when it is old. Serò sapiunt.

Turn back another way with the Wise men.

Get Chastitie which drives away lust. Charitie which drives away avarice.

Get Humilitie which drives away pride. Peace which drives away contention.

Sinne excused by Godly and wicked

TO excuse sinne is to derive and translate a sinne committed by us, to another; thereby to ease ourselves wholly, or at the least, by having a partner, that it may be th… more lighter upon our shoulders.

Saying,

The woman gave me, and I did eate.Gen. 3.

The Serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. the Serpent cast the fault on mankind: So that we have sin from our father, excuse from our mother, lying from the Devill.

Thou knowest the people are set on mischiefe.Exod. 32. 28.

Art thou he that troubleth Israel?1 King. 18. 17. 2 Sam. 11. 25.

The sword devoureth one as well as another.

Behold, this evill is of the Lord, why, &c.2 King. 6. 33. Exod. 32. 23. Gen. 19. 31. Matth. 25. 24. Gen. 37.

We wot not what is become of this man.

There is not a man to come in unto us.

I know that thou art a hard man, &c.

Some evil beast hath devoured him: (to wit) Ioseph.

I am innocent, &c. see ye to it.Matth. 27. 24. Matth. 27. 4. 1 Sam. 13. 1 Sam. 15.

What is that to us? See thou to that.

Because thou camest not within the dayes appointed: they have spared the best of the sheep to sacrifice.

Should he deale with our sister, as with Gen. 34. 31.an harlot?

So doth

That she encourageth and directeth him by affection.

He cannot else be beleeved, when he speaketh.

Company drew him, without which he had not.

He was importuned to lend, and therefore took use.

It was his continuall suiting made him take money.

It was his hardnesse, that would not give freely.

Who hath resisted the will of the Lord?Rom. 9. 19.

And they will in the day of judgement excuse their sinne, saying, Lord, when Matth. 25. 44.saw we thee an hungry, or thirstie? &c.

The wicked man when he sinneth, he giveth full consent in heart to the sinne that he committeth: The Godly man not; he hath no purpose before he comeRom. 7. 22. to doe the sinne, …o doe it: In the act, or doing, his heart riseth against it, yet by force of Temptation he is pulled on: After he hath sinned, he is displeased: andNote. Matth. 26. 27.repenteth.

Sinne extenuated by the wicked.

TO extenuate sinne, is with the Pharisee to say, I thank God, I am not as this Publican, &c. Or else to set a tolerable name upon a grosse sinne: so that either it may not be seen, or being seen, may not appeare in it own likenesse. And in this manner:

Thus they call evil good, and good evil, they put darknesse for light, and light for darknesse, they put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter, for which woe is pronounced against them by the Lord. Isai. 5. 20.Syr. 32. 17.
