On severall Sinnes.
Grosse Sinne.
IS like a Show'r, which ere we can get inInto our Conscience, wets us to the skin:
Sin of Infirmity.
IS like the falling of an April Shower;'Tis often Raine, and Sun-shine, in an hower.
Sin of Custome.
IS a long Showre, beginning with the LightOft-times continuing till the Dead of Night.
Sin of Ignorance.
IT is a hideous Mist, that wetts amaine,Though it appeare not in the forme of Raine.

Crying Sin.
IT is a sudden Showre, that teares in sunderThe Cope of Heav'n, & alway comes with Thunder.
Sin of Delight.
IS like a fethered showre of Snow, not felt,But soakes to th' very skin, when ere it melt:
Sin of Presumption.
DOes like a Showre of Hayle, both wet and woundWith sudden Death: or strikes us to the Ground.
The Sin of Sinnes.
IT is a sulph'rous Shower, such as fellOn Sodom, strikes, and strikes to th' Pit of Hell.
