Hence Observe.
A wicked man is constant in conceiving and contriving wickedness. He doth it not by starts and fits, his belly is ever preparing; when one deceit is wrought off, he goes to work upon a second, and then he projects for a third. Some speak of a perpetual motion, we find it here; what a man doth naturally, he doth constantly. Though there be much art in preparing deceit, yet it is the work of sinful nature; the frame, the engine of a wicked mans heart moves perpetually, He prepareth deceit, he is always at it. As David professeth (Psal. 45.1.) My heart is inditing a good matter, I will speak of the things which I have made touching the King. David had some holy work ready made, but he had more a making; he saith not, I have indited, but my heart is inditing, I am upon it, it is my continual study. So also the wicked mans heart is always preparing and devising unholy work, or that which is evil.

David had some holy work ready made, but he had more a making; he saith not, I have endited, but my heart is enditing, I am upon it, it is my continuall study. So also the wicked mans heart is alwayes preparing and devising unholy work, or that which is evill.
