The note of wilful unchaste persons in their misery, will be the song of all other sinners that refuse to receive admonition: How have I hated instruction, and mine heart despised correction! and have 1not obeyed the voice of them that taught me, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me! Within a little space I am in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.

Reproof of them that undertake the defence of subtle sin, that offer themselves to be compurgators for her; if she say that she is honest and upright, they will swear, they think it true. What evil is there, of Idolatry, superstition, swearing, Sabbath-breaking, cruelty, wantonness, yea abominable whoredom, pride and riot, but it shall have proctors to plead for it, and give countenance to it? And most commonly they are the men, that of all others every way for soul and body, for substance and credit, ⟨p. 61⟩have been most plagued by her. Her craftiness hath so enchanted them, that by her usage she hath gotten their harts for ever. Their wits, their tongues, their pens, their practise of life, and all shall be altogether for her against God and his word, against all godly men, against all civill men, against their own estimation and state, comfort and salvation.
