This is the miserable state of man,1 and these chains of his sins reserve him to further chains: Even as the Devil is reserved in chains, that is, in terrors of his conscience, which as chains bind him till he be in Hell, the place he is destinated to; so we being in ⟨p. 8⟩the chains, and bondage, vexed with our sins, we are at the same time in the chains of terrors of conscience, the beginnings of Hell, and reserved to chains of damnation, and death, world without end. It is another manner of matter, our estate by nature, then it is usually taken for. If men had but a little supernatural light, to see what condition they are in, till they get out into Christ Jesus, they would not continue a minute in that cursed estate.
