The Godly Man's Picture

Answ. 1 Get out of the old road of sin; he that would walk in a pleasant meadow, must turn out of the road. The way of sin is full of Travellers, there are so many travelling in this road, that hell, though it be of a great circumference, is fain to enlarge it self, and make room for them, Isa. 5. 14. This way of sin seems pleasant, but the end is damnable. I have (saith the Harlot) perfumed my bed, with Myrrh, Aloes, and Cinnamon, Prov. 7. 17. See how with one sweet (the Cinnamon) there were two bitters, Myrrh, and Aloes: for that little sweet in sin at present, there will be a far greater proportion of bitterness afterwards: Therefore get out of these briars, you cannot walk with God and sin, 2 Cor. 6. 14. What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
