But it produceth many sinful carriages in all respects.
But it produceth many sinfull carriages in all respects.
First in respect of all persons. Secondly, of all states. Thirdly, of all qualities. For persons, it makes him in whom it ruleth, and so far as it ruleth rebellious against Gods precepts, careless of his promises, and regardless of his threats, so that he despiseth and contemneth all the authority of God, and will not be guided by his counsel. Cain was a proud man you all know, he would never else have killed his Brother on that quarrel whereof you heard. Now when God himself came to admonish him and dissuade him from that murder, it was all in vain, he would not hearken to God, but continued to harbour malice till it brake forth into bloodshed.
First in respect of all persons. Secondly, of all states. Thirdly, of all qualities. For persons, it makes him in whom it ruleth, and so farre as it ruleth rebellious against Gods precepts, carelesse of his promises, and regardlesse of his threats, so that hee despiseth and contemneth all the authority of God, and will not be guided by his counsell. Caine was a proud man you all know, hee would never else have killed his Brother on that quarrell whereof you heard. Now when God himselfe came to admonish him and disswade him from that murder, it was all in vaine, hee would not hearken to God, but continued to harbour malice till it brake forth into bloudshed.
In respect of men, for ones self it makes him self-ish, all for himself, not regarding who be hurt so himself be pleased, self-willed and heady, so that no counsel will rule, but he will head strongly like a madded beast run on in his own race, as the Captains that came to Jeremiah for counsel, because they were proud men, and as the Scripture notes would not accept of his counsel. And it fills him full always of discontent, fretting and vexation, nothing, no person can please him, he is still finding faults, just like one that hath a swelling upon his hand, something or other toucheth it still and drives him to out-cries.
