Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Every generation hath a Genius both for manners and study:1 former times they were given to Barbarism: now these times are more refined for outward respects. So for sins; every age hath particular sins that reign; Superstition in former times: but now the clean contrary; Profaneness, Atheism, hardness of heart against the light, Presumption, Looseness, and the like. Now these being the sins of our times, we should go so much the stronger against the stream of Profaneness, and Atheism. The Devil discovers himself in divers shapes,2 in divers generations: sometimes he prevails with ignorance; and then he is a spirit of darkness: sometimes he is a spirit of Profaneness, and Looseness. Now consider by what sins the Devil hath most advantage, and be sure to set our selves against them.
