Four treatises tending to dissuade all Christians from four no less heinous then common sins; namely, the abuses of swearing, drunkenness, whoredom, and bribery. Wherein the greatness and odiousness of these vices is discovered; and the means and remedies, which may either preserve, or wean men from them, are propounded. Whereunto is annexed a treatise of anger.

these after he is exalted to glory and majesty, sitting at the right hand of God, as the sovereign Lord and Judge of heaven and earth. Many of them were pricked in conscience, and repented of their sin at the hearing of one sermon;1 these have no sight, sense nor remorse of their sins, though their consciences have been often convinced in the ministry of the word; and though the Lord hath for many years together granted them the means of their conversion, yet they continue in their sin, and in their hardness of heart. As therefore they surpass them in sin, so surely they shall exceed them in punishment; and as it shall be easier for Tyre ⟨p. 29⟩and Sidon, Sodom and Gomorrah at the day of judgement, then for the people of the Jews; so shall it be easier for the Jews at that day, then for these blasphemers.
these after hee is exalted to glorie and maiestie, sitting at the right hand of God, as the soueraigne Lord and Iudge of heauen and earth. Many of them were pricked in conscience, and repented of their sin at the hearing of one sermon;1 these haue no sight, sense nor remorse of their sinnes, though their consciences haue been often conuinced in the ministerie of the word; and though the Lord hath for many yeeres together granted them the meanes of their conuersion, yet they continue in their sinne, and in their hardnesse of heart. As therefore they surpasse them in sinne, so surely they shall exceede them in punishment; and as it shall be easier for Tyre ⟨p. 29⟩and Sidon, Sodom and Gomorrah at the day of iudgement, then for the people of the Iewes; so shall it bee easier for the Iewes at that day, then for these blasphemers.
