(4.) He that ceaseth to do Good, Evil must needs ensue; and the unprofitable Servant hath his blots and blemishes, which render him odious unto God. Homines nihil agendo, malè agere discunt, saith Cato. Standing Pools are apt to putrefy; and the Psalmist saith, Psal. 14.2. They are all become filthy and abominable, for there is none that seeketh God. When the Gardiner holdeth his hand, the ground is soon overgrown with Weeds: Sins of Omission will make way for Sins of Commission; and those that neglect Improvement, lose all reverence and awe of God every day more and more, and so are given up to an hatred of his People, and many brutish Lusts: As a Carcass not embalmed is more noisome every day. Job 15.4. Thou castest off Fear, and restrainest Prayer before God.
