It is desperate for men over shoes, to run over shoulders; and having transgressed ⟨p. 486⟩the bounds of obedience, to neglect any desire of revocation. Cyprian, who was at last a Martyr, wrote of himself, that being a persecutor, he was so far i• that he had no hope of getting out: therefore freely welcomed all vice, as resolving upon the worst that could befall him. Sleep departeth from the eyes of distressed and anguished spirits, Job 7.4. I am full of tossings too and fro, unto the dawning of the day. 1He that is troubled in his conscience for his iniquities, will resolve with De••• not to suffer his eyes to sleep, nor his eye-lids to be closed down with slumber: as he, till he found a resting place for God: so this, till he find rest for his own soul.
