SECT. II. Use of Caution.
Secondly, By way of Caution: Take heed of Persisting in this Cursed Sin of Ungratefulness. Though God has been Patient for a great while, yet the Lease of his Patience will at last be Run out. Nothing so Cold as Lead, yet nothing more Scalding when it is Melted. The Sweetest Wine dege∣nerates into the Sharpest Vinegar.
Nothing Blunter than Iron; yet when Sharpened, it hath an Edge that will cut Mortally. Nothing Smoother than the Sea; yet when stir'd into a Tempest, nothing Rag∣eth more. Just so is it with the Patience and Goodness of God: What Sweeter than the same? Yet the A∣buse of them, turns them to Fury and sore Wrath.
