A plain and familiar exposition of the thirteenth and fourteenth chapters of the Proverbs…A plaine and familiar exposition of the thirteenth and fourteenth chapters of the Prouerbs…

Terror for all them that are in the power of their sins, that they live in continual danger of one stroke or other, yea of death, yea Use. of destruction, yea of hell, and damnation. What time can any of them truly say, I am now in safety, as yet I shall escape Gods vengeance? Do they not know that when they shall say, peace and safety, then shall come upon them sudden destruction; as the travail upon ¹a woman with child, and they shall not escape? Who can say with warrant, I am here free from the dart of death▪ J shall surely carry my self from hence, my life shall not be taken away in this place? Can any house, can any fort, can any cave, can any place upon the earth, or in the earth, or above the earth, keep back Gods curse, and make a separation between sin and misery? If the one be let in, the other will not be shut out: for it hath right & might to come to his companion. Paradise could not privilege our first parents from the punishment, after that they committed the fault, and heaven could not help the reprobate Angels against their damnable condition, when they had fallen into rebellion. And who can say & make it good, at any repast or recreation, I shall continue this feast, or game, or sport, to the end before my fall & ruin? this delight shall not be interrupted and broken off by fear & torment before it be fully finished? Do they not remember that the wrath of God came upon the lusting Israelites in the wilderness, whiles they were eating the dainties which they so much desired, that he slew the strongest of them with meat in their mouths? Was not Aminon Davids wicked son killed in his own brothers house ⟨p. 64⟩at table, at a banquet, when his heart was most merry with wine?

Doe they not know that whē they shall say, peace and safetie, then shall come vpon them sudden destruction; as the trauail vpon ¹a woman with child, and they shall not escape? Who can say with warrant, I am heere free from the dart of death J shall surely cary my selfe frō hence, my life shall not be taken away in this place? Can any house, can any fort, can any caue, can any place vpon the earth, or in the earth, or aboue the earth, keep back Gods curse, and make a seperation betweene sinne and misery? Yf the one be let in, the other will not be shut out: for it hath right & might to come to his cōpanion. Paradise could not priuiledge our first parents frō the punishment, after that they cōmitted the fault, and heauē could not help the reprobate Angels against their damnable condition, when they had fallen into rebellion.
