7. A Caveat against raigning sinne.
THe Hog tyd by th'leg, with a small cord,Is to the slaughter driven to be goard.Thus every man may to himselfe apply,Though not in all grosse sinnes, I live, and die,Yet brought I may be to' the depth of Hell,With some one raigning sinne, with one, as well,As if my soule with many more were fraught:And cry with Caine, This, my damnation wrought.The Ships at Sea are made most tite, and sure,From every little leake, to be secure;Least one, as well as more, them cast away.As one disease, in stead of more, will slayThe impotent. For there's not any sinne,That thou canst say, Gods not offended in.

Then thus I argue; If God be displeas'd,That wrath of his must some way be apeas'd;

Which only comes by faith, and sinne forsaking;Which if thou giue not o're; there is noe slacking,But die thou must, for that fowle darling One;Though all the others thou hadst long for-gon.With a small Cord the Swine's to slaughter driven,By one grosse sinne, the soule's of heaven depriven.
