And here is to be noted that the daū gers that man is subject unto in this life, be not alone such as heretofore king David hath made mention of, as sickness, treason, sedition, war, poverty, banishment, and the death ⟨image 57⟩of the body, but he felt also (as every man of god shall feel and perceive) that there be greater perils and dangers that man standeth in jeopardy of, then these be, by occasion of sin, the mother of all mans adversity.1 Sin bringeth a man in to the displeasure and indignation of god, y• indignation of god bringeth a man in to the hatred of god, the hatred of god bringeth a man in to despair & doubtfulness of gods forgiveness, despair bringeth a man in to everlasting pain, & everlasting pain continueth and punisheth the damned creature with fire never to be quenched, with Gods anger and displeasure which can not be reconciled nor pacified.
