8. For conspiracy and consent in sin, when was there more, 1then among us. Great ones, mean ones, old, young, male, female, Magistrates, subjects, Ministers, people, rich, poor, masters, servants, all of one mind to disgrace integrity and to countenance impiety and iniquity. Insomuch as the Prophets complaint is too truly verified among us, 2He that refraineth from evil maketh himself a prey.

9. For obstinacy in sin, who can open his mouth wide 1enough against mens stubbornness. They are impudent and stiff-necked. They have a whores forehead and will not be 2ashamed. They bid a kind of defiance to God himself. As they abuse his mercies, so they despise his judgements. What swearer, what blasphemer, what drunkard, what adulterer, what fornicator, what oppressor, what extortioner, what usurer, what deceiver is reformed by this Plague? So obstinate are people, as God had need to make the faces of his Ministers strong against their foreheads.
