All sinful joys are dammed (if not damned) up with a But. They are troubled with a But-plague;1 like a Bee with a sting in the tail. They have a worm that crops them, nay gnaws asunder their very root; though they shoot up more hastily, and spread more spatiously then Jonah gourd. There is great preparation of this Banquet, properation to it, participation of it; all is carried with joy and Jovisance: there is a corrective But, a veruntamen, spoils all in the up-shot. A little Colliquintida, that embitters the Broth. A perilous, a pernicious, rock, that splits the Ship in the Haven. When all the prophecies of ill success have been held as Cassandra's riddles; when all the contrary winds of afflictions, all the threatened storms of Gods wrath, could not dishearten the Sinners voyage to these Netherlands; here is a But that shipwrecks all: the very mouth of a bottomless pit, not shallower then Hell it self.
