The fourth Difference, Although wicked men may be troubled and disquieted for sin; yet that disquietness doth not make them for to leave sin, but when their pangs of sorrow is over them, they will run to their sin again; they may be disquieted for sin sometimes, but it is only for the time that the trouble doth last and no longer. You read Jer. 18. 12. They said there is no hope, but we will walk after the imaginations of our own hearts. Their consciences did a little smite 1them for sin, but they would follow sin for all that.

No, I will cast them away as a menstruous cloth, and break off from them; and I will say to them, Get you hence: this is another difference godly men do break off from sin; but wicked men though they may be disquieted, yet they continue still in the same sin as soon as the troll is over.
