11. Take heed of losing your first love: that makes God threaten to take away his Candlestick.
12. Take heed of profaning the Christian Sabbath, which is much profaned every where; a day that Christ by his resurrection from the dead hath consecrated to be kept holy to God: Certainly if the Jews were so severely punished for breaking the Sabbath, which was set a part in memory of the Creation, surely God will severely punish those that break the Sabbath, set a part in memory of Christs Resurrection. May be same will say, I have committed many of these sins, but am not brought into any strait. Remember it was nine months after David had numbered the people, before he was in this strait; but as sure as God is in Heaven, sin will bring straits sooner or latter; though one sin a hundred years, yet shall he be accursed: may be thy prosperity makes way for thy damnation; and this is thy greatest distress, that thou goest on in sin and prosperity.
12. Take heed of prophaning the Christian Sabbath, which is much prophaned every where; a day that Christ by his resurrection from the dead hath consecrated to be kept holy to God: Certainly if the Jewes were so severely punished for breaking the Sabbath, which was set a part in memory of the Creation, surely God will severely punish those that break the Sabbath, set a part in memory of Christs Resurrection. May be same will say, I have committed many of these sins, but am not brought into any strait. Remember it was nine moneths after David had numbred the people, before he was in this strait; but as sure as God is in Heaven, sin will bring straits sooner or latter; though one sin a hundred years, yet shall he be accursed: may be thy prosperity makes way for thy damnation; and this is thy greatest distress, that thou goest on in sin and prosperity.
