Observe secondly.
Wicked men are oft put to much pain in fulfilling their lusts, or in acting their conceived mischiefs. It is with such men as with the Woman in child-bearing, on whom the Lord hath laid that heavy burden, In sorrow shalt thou bring forth Children (Gen. 3.16.) wicked men feel this to the full, In sorrow they bring forth: The wicked man travelleth in pain all his days, vers. 20. It is their delight to sin, but for the most part they smart in sinning, and run through many sorrows to accomplish their sin. They are so mad upon sinning, that the sweetness of doing mischief pleaseth them more, then all the troubles they go through in doing it discourageth them. Many evils cannot be done with ease, it costs sinners dear to effect what they design; they often have, as we say of Women, after long and sore travel in child-bearing, A very hard bargain of it, and pay very dear for that which is worth, or worthy of nothing but repentance or greater pain.
