Their infidelity, and pride, and guiltiness doth fill their hearts §3with distempered passions of sorrow, & envy, and anger, & fear, and such like. That which the Apostle speaketh of the covetous, holdeth true for most ungodly persons, if not for all, in some respect or other, that they pierce themselves through with sorrows, either¹ because they fail wholly of their wills, or are not so fully satisfied as they wish, or others succeed and prosper, as well as they, or better then they would have them. But if there were nothing else that did make any sinful mans life unpleasant, yet this were sufficient to make every sinful mans life uncomfortable, that he liveth in perpetual dread & danger of death and damnation. So saith the Apostle to the Hebrews, for fear of death they are all their life time subject to bondage.²
