In a word, I beseech you take heed of those sins that bring to Hell fire. There are, saith St. Bernard, fiery sins that bring men to hell fire. What are these fiery sin? Why, they are the fire of Malice, the fire of Passion, the fire of Lust, the fire of Concupiscence, and the fire of Revenge: these fiery sins, bring men to fiery plagues, to Hell fire. When you are tempted to any •in, think with your selves, How can I bear the lying in the fierceness of the Wine-press of Gods wrath for ever?

I have read a story of a Virgi•, that being tempted by a young man to commit folly; says she to him, If you will grant me but one request, I will do what you desire. What is that? said he. Why, do but hold your Finger one hour in this burning Candle. No, he would not do that: Said she to him, Will not you for my s•ke hold your Finger one hour in the Candle, and would you have me lay my Soul burning in Hell for ever, for the satisfying of your Lust? and thus she refuted that temptation.
