1. What think you, hath not sin the dominion, where no kind of arguments and dealings are able to disengage the heart and to turn it? when no kinds of merciful Arguments, and no kinds of just threatenings, and no sense of bitterness, can yet discovenant and disservice the soul: but still it holds the league, keeps the agreement with sin, now then how often hath God come to many persons, and offered unto them his pardoning mercies, & the blood of Christ, and eternal life, if they would leave such a sin of drunkenness, such a sin of filthiness, such a sin of worldliness, but unrighteous they were, and unrighteous still they are and will be: How often hath God set the point of the sword upon the breast of a sinner, revealing his wrath, threatening death and Hell if he will not leave the service of his sin; nay, scourged his estate ⟨p. 127⟩for his sinning, nay, scourged his body, nay, his soul & conscience, and all this to renounce his sinful Lord, yet men hold fast their wickedness, they yet give over themselves to sin with greediness, they study how to fulfil their lusts, and rejoice when they have done evil: doth not this show, that the heart is indeed endeared, and totally emancipated by a strong and elective subjection unto sin.
