How little cause to envy Sinners, and how careful we should be to avoid their eternal misery.

CHAP. XIV. How little cause to envy Sinners, and how careful we should be to avoid their eternal misery.

Use 1. WE may learn hence what little cause any have to envy Sinners their fat and sweet in this World. Alas, for their poor short pleasures of sin, they must have extreme and eternal torments. Who would grudge them their portion, or eat of their Dainties, or buy their Bargains, that is not mad, and quite bereft of his wits, Prov. 23.17, 18. My Son, envy not Sinners: for surely there is an end. I, and a sad end for poor Sinners. An end of Woe, and Wrath, and Death, and Misery, without any end or ease. Ah what sad Objects are they of Pity, who laugh a minute, and must weep for ⟨p. 91⟩ever! who for a little giggling mirth, and poor drossy pleasures, must fry eternally in Hell flames among Devils and damned Spirits.
