Look upon thy sins as they will look upon thee at the day of death, and the day of judgment, for there they §1will look with a ghastly visage when all the profit thou hast gained, the pleasure thou hast taken, the content thou hast promised to thy self, will take their leaves of thy sins, and of thy soul also, and nothing will be left but the […] and guilt of them. It's said of Moses, Heb. 11. 25. That he chose rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin; which were but for a season; q. d. Sin remains always with the wicked, but the pleasure doth not, that is but for a season, and that is but the time of Gods forbearance, that he is pleased to abate the sinner of his displeasure and vengeance, at the utmost it is but for the term of this life; at the day of death and judgment the pleasures of sin will be out of season. There is no pleasure the Adulterer can take in his lusts then, the Drunkard in his cup, the covetous worldling in in his wealth, they are out of date, the season is gone, the applause of the proud, and the pomp of the great ones is out of season, only the guilt and filth of sin remains, stares them in the face, and gnaws their Conscience, and eats their flesh, as James speaks, as it were with fire, cries day and night in the ears of the Lord of Hosts against them: It is said of the Whore of Babylon at her fall, Rev. 18. 14. That the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, all things which are dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. Let thy sins now appear as they will then appear, when all the pleasing, and dainty, and goodly contentments that thou promisedst to thy self are departed, when all the paint, and colours, and covers are removed, all the sweetness whereby they were sauced are taken away, and thy distempers are stripped naked of them, and thou canst find them no more. The ⟨p. 73⟩proud, malicious, […], peevish, that have pleased themselves in their sinful distempers, and continued in them, they will find their sins indeed, and they will find them […] down with them in the Grave, where they will rot and rise with them to Judgment, and go with them to Hell:
