He that is in the power of it, and entangled therewith, is in great peril of perishing, being caught in a trap, and held fast there, till either grace deliver him, or death devour him. He is 1taken, saith Bildad, in the net by his feet, and walketh upon the snares. The grin shall take him by the heel, and the dreadful fowler shall come upon him. There is no safe treading any where but in the ways of God, every step without it, through the length and breadth of the whole world, hath somewhat set in it to entangle us. Without the direction of the word, and virtue of the spirit, what is in man? what cometh from man? what is done by man, but that which will work his woe, and turn to his ruin?
