And this to be true both Scripture and experience teach us, that while men run into sin, to avoid outward trouble and danger, and yet make nothing of it when they have done, lest they should too much disquiet themselves; yet that God doth afterwards make their doings as pricks in their eyes, and thorns in their flesh; that thereby we may know, that they who hold up their heads most jollily after their sion committed, as though nothing were amiss with them, shall not so easily go away with it; but their sin which they have made their darling, shall sting them in their bosoms, and rise up and strangle them, as it oft doth, and make their lives wearisome, if it put not also an end to them; as the sin of Zimry and Cosby did; Corab also and his company. But where might one make an end of 1this discourse? Look more of this in the story of Gideons demand of the men of Succoth and Penuel, and in this Chapter, verse 6.
