Men deluded by Satan in not taking the right notion of Sin. [ 1396]
IT is with men in sinning as it is with Armies in fighting; Captains beat
their Drums for Voluntiers, and promise all that list pay and plunder, and
this makes them come trowling in: but few consider, what the ground of the
War is, or for what; Thus Satan enticeth Men to Sin, and giveth golden promises
of what they shall have in his service, with which silly Souls are won: but how
few ask their Souls, Whom do I sin against? What is the Devills design in drawing
me to Sin? Shall I tell thee? Dost thou think, 'tis thy pleasure or profit he de∣sires
in thy sinning? Alas, he means nothing lesse, he hath greater plots in his
head then so; He hath by his Apostacy proclaimed war against God, and he
brings thee by sinning to espouse his quarrel, and to jeopard the life of thy Soul
in defence of his pride and lust; which that he may do, he cares no more for the
damnation of thy Soul, then the great Turk doth to see a company of his slaves cut
off for the carrying on of his design in the time of a siege: If therefore thou wilt
not be deluded by him, take the right notion of Sin, and labour to understand the
bottome of his bloudy design intended against thee.
