Secondly, it is seen in the contrary effects of both sides. §2First, wicked men run violently to sin, and will not desist from their devilish purposes, before they have effected them: though godly men through natural corruptions, and temptations, have sometimes a proneness, and inclination to evil, ⟨p. 106⟩yet they may be easily retracted by counsel, and admonition, as David was from s•••ing of Nabal, but they constantly proceed to the perfor••••e of every good duty. Secondly, wicked men do medi•••e in ••e night, and endeavour in the day to fulfil their sinful desire […] Micah. 2. 1. Godly men do meditate in the night, and endeavour in the day, to know and obey the holy will of the Lord Isa. 26. 9. Thirdly, when wicked men have accomplished ••eir sinful desires, they surfeit with gladness: when they a•• disappointed they are filled with bitter vexation. Prou. 4. 16. […] godly men have committed sin, it bringeth anguish […] their hearts, when they have performed any Christian service, it is a comfortable refreshing to their souls. Fourthly, the custom of sinning is so sweet to the wicked, that they will not forsake it, but take them for 1their enemies that shall dissuade them from it: the yoke of sin is heavy to the Godly, that they still strive to be disburdened of it, and the yoke of Jesus so easy that they willingly yield themselves to it, and account them their best friends that shall help them against the one, and further them to the other.
