The tares must have chains proportionable to their sins: 1Bind them in bundles] saith my Text, not in one, but in many faggots, an Adulterer with an Adulteress, a Drunkard with a Drunkard, a Traitor with a Traitor, as there be several sins, so several Bundles, all are punished in the same fire, but all are not punished in the same degree; some have heavier chains, and some have lighter, but all in just weight and measure. The Proud shall be trod under foot, the Glutton suffer inestimable ⟨p. 142⟩hunger, the Drunkard feel a burning thirst, the Covetous pine in wants, the Adulterer lie with Serpents, Dragons, Scorpions, Give me leave to bind these in bundles, and so leave them for the fire; they are first bundled, then burned.
