Against sinfull lusts.
ABraham was content for the
loue of the Lord, to slay and
sacrifice his sonne with his owne
hands, and the Lord accepted
his will for a deede, and a cleare
declaratour of his loue. Now said
he, I know thou louest me. But alas,
O my soule, wherein wilt thou
shew thy loue to the Lord thy
God, if thou be not content to
forgoe a vnlawfull pleasure for
the Lords sake, and to slay the life,
not of thy lawfull sonne, but of
thy vnlawfull affection? If thou
doe it not, how shall the Lord say
of thee, as hee said of Abraham?
Now I know thou louest me.
