2. There are straits suffered for sin, and these are envenomed by the guilt of sin: sin puts poison into all our distresses and perplexities. Now such was the strait into which David was now driven, it was a strait caused by fin, and that made it so unwelcome and uncomfortable: so that from hence I gather this Observation.

Doctrine. That sin and iniquity brings persons and Nations into marvellous labyrinths and perplexities; into time, real, and great molestations; and a man free from sin, is free in the midst of straits; a man guilty of sin, is in a strait in the midst of freedom.
After Adam had sinned in eating the forbidden fruit, the whole world was a prison to him: Paradise it self was an Hell to him, he knew not ⟨image 5⟩where to hide himself from the presence of God. After that Cain had murdered his Brother Abel, he was brought into such a strait, that he was afraid that every one that met him would slay him. Alas, poor Cain, how many there was then in the world? We read, but his Father and Mother? yet such was his distress, teat he crieth out, every one that met him would slay him, Gen. 4.14. Into what a strait did sin bring the old world? the deluge of sin, brought a deluge of water to drown them. Into what a strait did sin bring Sodom and Gomorrah? the fire of Lust reigning in Sodom and Gomorrah, brought down fire from Heaven to destroy them. Sin brings external, internal, and eternal straits upon persons and Nations.
