II. 1In this great house of so great mourning, God hath been teaching you what are the Wages of sin. You have often heard that death is the Wages of sin, Rom. 6.23. The Greek word [Greek or Hebrew] there used, is a military term, signifying the wages that is due to soldiers, intimating that death is as due to a sinner for his service to ⟨p. 82⟩the Devil, as pay is to a Soldier for his service to his General; it comes from the word [Greek or Hebrew], which signifieth properly, all kind of pleasant meats that may be prepared or made ready by fire, so that all the delicates, and dainty dishes that sin prepares for sinners, hath a deaths head in them. Do you learn this, and by this learn to hate sin more than you did before, and watch against it more than you did before.
