Thirdly, Consider the easiness of it, to drink is no hard labour; hence we speak proverbially, I can do• such a thing as easily as I can drink; there are no bones in drink: Good liquor (we say also) needs no chewing: Besides, it is easy to drink, because it is natural to drink; Children have no Tutors to teach them to drink: Again, to drink water is easy, because we may get it easily; water is not kept under Lock and Key, but in the common Storehouses or Cellars of nature.

A natural man sins with ease; it is no pain to him to sin: Sin is not easy in the effects, so it leaves us in Little-ease, 1pain and sorrow enough are the fruits of it; but it is easy in the act of it; it is to a wicked heart, as easy as to drink water which is every way easy.
