And this is the whole progress of sin, he groweth from a liar to a thief, from a thief to a murderer, and never leaveth until he hath searched all the room in hell, and yet he is never satisfied, the more he sinneth, the more he searcheth to sin: when he hath deceived, nay he hath not deceived thee: as soon as he hath that he desireth, he hath not that he desireth: when he hath left fighting, he goeth to fighting again: yet a little and a little more, and so we flit from one sin to another,, While I preach, you hear iniquity engender within you, and will break forth as soon as you are gone. So Christ wept, Jerusalem laughed: Adam brake one, and we break ten: like children which laugh and cry, so, as if we kept a shop of vices, now this sin, and then that, from one sin to another.
