A saint or a brute the certain necessity and excellency of holiness, &c. ...…

And 1. Every creature to a sensual man, is made by him in •ome sort, his End and God: For he doth not Use it only, and •eferr it as the godly do, to an end that is One; but he would En•y it, and make it objectively his end it self, and so idolize it. And •herefore though in the general notion of Delight they all agree; yet materially what abundance of ends and gods have carnal men? Every sense must have its own delight: the eye must have its delight, and the appetite its delight; and so of the rest.

2. And also these fleshly baits and pleasures are discordant even among themselves: They draw the sinner several ways; and one of them fighteth against the other: The riches of the sensualist do usually contradict his ease; and often his voluptuous humour: and his ambition and pride doth bridle his disgraceful lust; and one sin will not let another have its end, but robbeth him of the poor expected fruit: And thus they do distract the sinners, and tear their very hearts in pieces; and divide and dismember them, where God would heal them and unite them in himself. And the toilsome cares and labours by which these things must be obtained, are many, and oft contrary to each other; and a great deal of stir it is that a deluded sinner▪ makes to little purpose.
