Their whole life is but like a Fire-work, that runs along the Rope of wickedness, till at last it goes out in the Grave, and is rekindled in the slamming Pit. ⟨p. 28⟩They bind sin sure to them selves with Cords; and with the same Cords the Devil Binds them as fast to him: they shall speed as himself doth, and be at last Bound with the Cords, or Chai•es of darkness.

The Magistrate should do well (in mean time) to Bind them with Material Cords, of severe punishments. Chain up their feet from Brothel-houses, Manacle their hands from slaughters; give them the Cords of Correction, least at last by a Cord they depart the world.
The Magistrate should doe well (in meane time) to Bind them with Materiall Cordes, of seuere punishments. Chaine vp their feete from Brothell-houses, Manacle their hands from slaughters; giue them the Cordes of Correction, least at last by a Corde they depart the world.
The three special Twists of this Cord, are Drunkenness, Whoredom, Cozenage. If you could untwine these three, and separate them; there were some hope of breaking them all.

Cheating winds into some of your own shops: Adultery creeps into some of your own Chambers. And I know not how, sometimes Justices & Magistrates have whipped Drunkenness out of the Alehouse into their own Cellars.
