2. The shame that ariseth from the guilt.
3. The Conscience and sense of Gods displeasure (a tormenting thing.)
4. Sadness for our folly in hurting our selves.
5. And fear of all the after miseries. All hitherto mentioned, men do themselves against themselves.
§. 17. Yea more, men themselves make other men their tormentors. The angry stir up others to hurt them. The offenders stir up Magistrates to punish them. The fornicator chooseth a filthy disease under the name of a pleasure, and kindleth a putrid fever in his own soul. The covetous and unjust make all men their enemies; and so do many of the proud, tyrannical and oppressors. The froward will not give themselves rest in their own families; but make Wives, Husbands, Children, Servants, and every thing to be their own vexation.
