Custome.

Custome so shutts mens eyes, that they cannot see the true visage of things.

Custome makes hard things easie, and bon∣dage no burden, and addes delusion to blind∣nesse.

Custome without truth, is but an old error.

Forme and custome are deadly enemies to spirituallnesse▪

The rich observe customes, and the poore pay deare for them, they are starued by them, for if that which is spent at burials, were wise∣ly bestowed upon the poor, it would be much better; and so in other needlesse customes.

Custome by degrees eats out and destroyes Conscience.

Delight and custome so wraps a man up in sinne, that he cannot get free from it.

Men rock themselves asleepe in the cradle of custome.
