I shall now close up this Doctrine with a word of use.
Use 1 If it be so that the children of God may be cast down for sin, though they may not be cast off for sin; and may a godly man be so cast down for sin that he may cry out with the Psalmist, Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Although wicked men may live in pleasure all their days and never be troubled, and cast down under the sight and sense of sin: I shall direct my speech a little to wicked men.
First, O you that live in a course of ungodliness, in ways of wickedness, delighting your selves to live after the imaginations of your own evil hearts, consider and reason thus with your own souls; What are good men cast down that shall never be cast off? and are they dejected who shall never be ⟨p. 40⟩rejected? what will you do that heap sin upon sin and add iniquity to iniquity, to multiply your abominations, and never have your hearts to be troubled, and never have your consciences smite you for the evil of your doings? O consider, that many may be cast into hell for sin, that never have been cast down for sin; and if you go on and continue in this way of sinning, what will become of you?

O consider, that many may be cast into hell for sin, that never have been cast down for sin; and if you go on and continue in this way of sinning, what will become of you?
