1. As it is cause of all other evils of punishment, verse 17. Hast thou not procured this unto thy self in that thou hast forsaken me, &c. he bids them read all their sins in their punishments, he bids them look upon sin as a Mother-evil, that hath all other evils in the womb of it; q. d. Thank thy self for all the affliction that is upon thee: thou hast procured this unto thy self; art thou in captivity, in prison, in distress, &c. ⟨p. 116⟩Thank thy Idolatry, and thy Adulteries whereby thou hast forsaken the Lord thy God. Thank thy self for all the misery that is upon thee, every mans heart may say to him as Apollodorus his heart cried to him out of the boiling Chaldron: [Greek or Hebrew]. Plut: I have bin the cause of all this. As Lust when it hath conceived, brings forth sin, so sin when it is finished, when it is perfected, 1will bring forth death: sin is the Child of Lust, and the Mother of Death.
