This doctrine doth marvellously cross our vile nature, who give our selves leave, when health and welfare meet together and abide with us any time; to make our selves drunk with them, and to take our fill of them. And therefore we cannot away with this, to hear of any change, nor to be awaked out of our carnal drowsiness: and for this cause, seeing men will not hearken to the Lord, bidding us watch, and beware of such surfeiting 1and spiritual drunkenness; therefore he leaves many in the snare oft times, wherein like fools they be taken. And by this we may see, when God hath 2begun judgement before with his own, so that they escape not, that it shall much more grievously meet afterward with his enemies; and therefore that their judgement sleepeth not. This I enlarge not, having spoken of it in 3the place before mentioned, chap. 15.
This doctrine doth mauellously crosse our vile nature, who giue our selues leaue, when health and welfare meet together and abide with vs any time; to make our selues drunke with them, and to take our fill of them. And therefore we cannot away with this, to heare of any change, nor to be awaked out of our carnall drowsinesse: and for this cause, seeing men will not hearken to the Lord, bidding vs watch, and beware of such surfetting 1and spirituall drunkennesse; therfore he leaues many in the snare oft times, wherein like fooles they be taken. And by this we may see, when God hath 2begun iudgement before with his owne, so that they escape not, that it shal much more grieuously meet afterward with his enemies; and therefore that their iudgement sleepeth not. This I enlarge not, hauing spoken of it in 3the place before mentioned, chap. 15.
