2. Judicially worse; which appears in two particulars, viz. 11. In a Dereliction on Gods part; he doth more sadly leave such a soul, give it up to its own lusts, and its own vile affections, and unto Satan, to rule mightily and efficaciously in such a child of disobedience, who loves to adventure in a known way of curse and misery, so that the Lord may withdraw himself, and desert that progressively sinning soul, and not aid and assist it in case of most horrible lusts, or of most hideous temptations. 2. In Condemnation 2on Consciences part: For the progress in sinnings, as at any time, so after the time of punishment for sin, will make and raise a louder cry, and a fiercer sentence from the conscience. A man who will not repent for the lashes on his back, shall by his continuance ⟨p. 34⟩in sin, quickly feel the lashes of Scorpions in his soul; as more guilt doth arise from sinful practices, so more horror doth ensue upon more guilt; more guilt is but like a great storm at Sea, or like a great raging of a disease.
