A discourse concerning old-age tending to the instruction, caution and comfort of aged persons…

I Come in the Third place to treat of¹ the Vices and Sins, which are most incident to Old-age: for the best Wine that is, hath some Dregs. And tho there be none of Old-folks Sins, but they are ⟨p. 41⟩found in some Young-folks breasts; yet there are some particular vices, which are more proper, because more common to Aged persons, than to others. Nevertheless as the work of Sanctification hath been deeper, and the care in Education greater, so far the less liable shall the Aged persons be, unto these Corruptionsⁱ. He that bears the Yoke in his youth, will be happily fortified against them in his age. I do not therefore charge every Old man or woman with the following Faults; for many have better learned Christ, and are as free from them as any other: but for the most part Old people are propense to these Vices.
