Nothing will make sin m•re heavy upon thy conscience than this, that I have sinned and that in my •n• have stood out against the rebukes of God: As in Pro 5.12, 13. At the last, when thy flesh and thy ho•y is co•sume• t• u st […] mourn and say, How have I hated instruc[…]i[…]n, and my […] despised reproof? The words are spoken of a gallant, a brave •o•ing gallant, that blu••ereth it out in the world, and carries all before him and cares for nothing that is said; but when the hand of God is upon him and his flesh and body is consumed, then he falls a lamenting his condition, Oh how have I despised reproof, and have not inclined mine ear to them that instructed me? This is the aggravation of •in indeed.
