a wicked man in sinning is foolish-like, or looks as like a fool, as David did, when he played the Mad-man before the King of Gath, Scrabbled on the doors, and let his spittle fall ⟨p. 157⟩on his Beard: Is it not folly to see a man Labouring in the fire, for very vanity, loading himself with thick clay, pursuing the East-wind? He is just like a man in a frenzy, who imagines himself to be a King, and to be riding in great State and Triumph, when in the mean time he is a Poor naked Pitiful and despicable creature, in the eyes of all that behold him. Fourthly, If we look to the spring, fountain and cause of it; There can be no just nor relevant reason given for sin; It's therefore, no doubt, folly: Is there, or can there be any thing that evidenceth mens folly so much, as their coming in tops with God, their walking in the way of death, their loving simplicity (as it is Prov. 1.) And their quitting the way of Life? Now the word of God is true wisdom, and the way of life is therein clearly holden forth, and God as our pattern; and is there any thing more reasonable, then that we should live like, and be conform to the word of God, and to him of whom we ought to be followers? But sin thwarts with the whole word of God, and with God himself.
