IV. Thieves are a great Terror to honest Men, they put many in fear: So some Wicked and Ungodly Men are a great Trouble, Grief and Terror to those who are Godly; how was the Soul of righteous Lot vexed with the filthy Conversation of the Sodomites? 1 Pet. 2.7.

V. Thieves greatly abuse, rob and wrong others, not only such as are of their own Rank and Quality; but sometimes set upon, and rob Persons in Authority; the Judg, nay and Prince himself, hath been sometimes robbed and abused by Thieves: Did not Tho. Blood but few Years since, steal the King's Crown? So Wicked Men greatly abuse their Neighbours, they do often take away the good Name of such who truly fear God, and sometimes attempt their Chastity, &c. This is not all, they do not only thus endeavour to rob Men, such who are poor Mortals like themselves; but they rob God: and that many ways. (1.) They rob him of his Glory. And (2.) Of their own Strength and Flower of their Age, which belongs to him. (3.) They rob him of their Hearts and Affections, and place it upon the World and their own base Lusts. (4.) They rob him of their precious Time, and squander it away in a foolish and idle manner, upon their Lusts; nay, hath not that Man of Blood (I mean the Pope) robbed Jesus Christ of his Crown and Royal Diadem? doth he not assume that Power and Head-ship to himself, that only belongs to the Prince of the Kings of the Earth?
