6 And likewise in Estates of men Thou as a Moth does come, Their hopes are great, and much earn they▪ But bring but little home.
7 Thou dost it blast, and it consumes, Because they don't it nse To righteous ends, but basely it To their own Lusts abuse.
8 Strength thus oft-times does wast away▪ In Soul and Body too, And Treasures of Nations decay, Tho few that mind it do.
9 Take heed ye Saints of private sins, Lest God does secretly Bring Judgments on you till he hath Consumed you utterly.
