Secondly, Use. 2 here are those to be reproved that run into far greater excess of sinning than ever David did, breaking forth into gross and foul evils, that every ⟨p. 5⟩body seeth and knoweth, and condemneth, and yet they pass them over slightly, and carelessly, as if they were matters of nothing. When David did but cut off the lap of Sauls coat, his heart smote him, and was grieved within him, in that he was so near unto sin: what then shall we think of those that do not cut off the lap of the coat of an enemy, but are injurious to their friends, and cruel against their brethren, that break covenant and promise, sin against God, blaspheme his name, profane his Sabbaths, and the like, and yet none of all these do soundly work upon them, nor much trouble them? surely such men are not of Davids spirit, and therefore not being broken hearted here, they shall be broken and crushed in pieces with the unsupportable weight of Gods vengeance hereafter.

When Dauid did but cut off the lap of Sauls coat, his heart smote him, and was grieued within him, in that he was so neere vnto sinne: what then shall we thinke of those that doe not cut off the lappe of the coate of an enemie, but are iniurious to their friends, and cruell against their brethren, that breake couenant and promise, sinne against God, blaspheme his name, profane his Sabbaths, and the like, and yet none of all these do soundly worke vpon them, nor much trouble them? surely such men are not of Dauids spirit, and therefore not being broken hearted heere, they shall be broken and crushed in peeces with the vnsupportable weight of Gods vengeance heereafter.
