What seemeth to the judgement of flesh and blood more slight and venial then to utter now and then some idle words? and yet even of these we shall give an account at the day of 1judgement; and those that are accountants are sure to be cast into the prison of utter darkness, if our Saviour Christ 2who hath forewarned us of it, do not himself discharge us by paying our reckoning. If then (as Augustine saith well) it seem a small and little thing unto thee to call thy brother fool; yet let the fire of hell seem great unto thee. If thou contemnest the least sin,) •• be affrighted from it by the greatness of the punishment.
