Remarkable is that Word of GOD; Rom. 6.23. The Wages of Sin, (or, Paid by Sin,) is Death. Gerhard notes, That OPSONIA, which we render, Wages, properly are, Gibaria quaedam et lautitiae, quibus milites alliciebantur, qui ventris Gulaeque causa vitam habent Venalem; The D•ets and the Dainties, with the prospect whereof, the Commanders drew their Hungry Soldiers to Expose their Lives. We are here Elegantly called back, to Consider the First Sin of the First Man. Sin, which is compared unto a General, enticed us with an OPSONION, a Dish of Fruit, a Delicate Entertainment: But we found nothing but a miserable Death in the Dish; while we were thus drawn to List under the Banner of the Devil, in a Rebellion against the Holy GOD.

Sin, Sin, is the Sting of Death. Tis by our Sin, that we are Stung to Death. An Angel of Death, upon it, comes Armed with a Commission to Cut us off.
