The Adulterer is an enemy to chastity, the Drunkard to soberness, the unjust man is an enemy to justice, but they that strive to hinder any man from God are enemies to all righteousness. But you will say you would have prayed but my husband would not let me, I would have gone to ⟨p. 65⟩Church, but my Master would not let me, this will not serve the turn, it will be no plea for you to say Masters hinder you, Mat. 23.15. Woe to you Scribes and Pharisees that compass Sea and Land to make a Proselyte, and when he is so made, you make him twofold more the child of the Devil, then your selves. To be the children of the Devil that is bade enough in conscience, but you are twice more the child of the Devil, if you hinder any from God: if you sin, you shall go to hell, but they that occasion others to sin, shall be twice more the children of hell then you; Oh, then fear and labour every one to amend one another.
