Sin is exceeding dangerous and destructive to man.
Some would sin for the pleasures and carnal contentments which are found in sin, though they knew they should make no earnings, or get no profit by it, yea though they knew they should be and dye beggars by it. Once more, if this were all, that they should loose heaven by it, or if the meaning of loosing their souls ⟨p. 456⟩were only this, that their souls should be no more, they would easily venture it. But there is an affirmative in the negative, and when, 'tis said, sin profiteth not, the meaning is, it brings trouble and renders us miserable for ever; Fools (that is, all sinful men, saith the Spirit of God, Psal: 107.17.) because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities are afflicted; and all such among these fools, as dye in their sin are damned; and who is able to sum up the damage of damnation?
