THE Adder expresseth the nature of obsti∣nate wicked men. For as he is by nature enclined and desirous to sting and to hurt with his poyson whomsoeuer he may:* 1.1 so all their coun∣sels tend to the increase of wickednesse and mis∣chiefe. And as this euill in the nature of an Ad∣der can by no meanes be redressed, no not by en∣chauntment,
for he stoppeth his eares against the charmer. So there is no hope of the conuersion of these obstinate wicked ones, who stubbornely refuse to here all wholesome doctrine and good counsell that proceedeth out of the Word, wher∣of we haue example in the counsell that stoned Steuen,* 1.2 for they stopped their eares. And in the Papists amongest vs, who will not come into those places, where the Word is read and prea∣ched.
