[ 1117] The great danger of any one Sin unrepented of.
MAny Planks well pinn'd and calk'd,* 1.1 make the Ship to float; one and but one leak not stopped will sink it, One wound strikes Goliah dead, as well as three and twenty did Caesar,* 1.2 One Dalilah will do Sampson as much spight as all the Phi∣listins, One wheel broken, spoyls all the whole Clock, One vein's bleeding will let out all the vitals as well as more; One fly will spoil a whole box of Oyntment, One bitter herb all the pottage,* 1.3 by eating o••e Apple Adam lost Paradise, One lick of honey endangered Ionathans life,* 1.4 One Ac••an was a trouble to all Israel, One Ionah if faulty, is lading too heavy for a whole ship: Thus one sinne is enough to pro∣cure Gods anger, and too much for one Man to commit; And if God then take an accompt of one sin, let Men have a care of all sin.
