Who for offending a little one, will inflict a heauier punishment vpon the guilty, then the casting him into the Sea, with a milstone about his neck, and for defect alone of a wedding garment, wil adiudge an inuited ghest, to vtter darknes. And now (my beloued brethren) was Adam so hardly censured, (as it is thought) for one Apple? The Angels, for a thought: Moses and Aaron for once doubting: all Israel, for Achans taking one wedge of gold: the whole Tribe of Beniamin, for forcing of one woman: and shall we thinke, in that terrible Day of the Lord, a day of darknesse and dimnesse, a day of clowdes, and stormes, before so iust a Iudge, so many accusers, for so haynous, voluntary, and continued crimes, it is possible for vs to escape vnpunished? Foelix trembled when Paul preached of iudgement: and Lemnius reports of a young man of the Emperour Charles his Court, who for horrour of the execution hee was the next day to suffer, in one night became white, both in his head and beard.

Who for offending a little one, will inflict a Heavier punishment upon the guilty, then the casting him into the Sea, with a millstone about his neck, and for defect alone of a wedding garment, will adjudge an invited guessed, to utter darkness. And now (my Beloved brothers) was Adam so hardly censured, (as it is Thought) for one Apple? The Angels, for a Thought: Moses and Aaron for once doubting: all Israel, for Achans taking one wedge of gold: the Whole Tribe of Benjamin, for forcing of one woman: and shall we think, in that terrible Day of the Lord, a day of darkness and dimness, a day of Clouds, and storms, before so just a Judge, so many accusers, for so heinous, voluntary, and continued crimes, it is possible for us to escape unpunished? Felix trembled when Paul preached of judgement: and Lemnius reports of a young man of the Emperor Charles his Court, who for horror of the execution he was the next day to suffer, in one night became white, both in his head and beard. But could we but restrain a little our thoughts, to the meditation of these fearful Assizes, it would stop our lewd courses (as the Light from heaven did Saul's) and make us to cry out with him, Lord, what wilt thou that we do?
