Why must we auoid euill workes?
1 Because they displease God, Psalm. 5.5. Thou art not a God that delightest in iniquitie, neyther shall the vvicked dvvell vvith thee: and they prouoke him to anger, thou hatest all those which vvorke vvickednesse. verse. 6.
2 They doe dishonour the profession of the Gospell, and the glorie of God, Rom. 2, 24. For your sakes is the name of God e∣uill spoken of, among the Gentiles: as Nathan saith to Dauid. 2. Sam. 12.14. Thou hast caused the enemies of the Lord to blas∣pheme by this meanes.
3 Because they draw downe vpon vs punishments, both publike and priuate, warres, famine, pestilence, &c. Deut. 28.15. &c. If thou vvilt not heare the voyce of the Lord thy God,* 1.1thou shalt be cursed vvhen thou goest forth into the field. &c. A∣gaine, Thou doest chastice the sonnes of men for their iniquities. Psal. 90.8.
4 Because there followeth the tyrannie of Sathan, into whose power the reprobate are deliuered vp, in whose snares they are taken captiues, and doe his whole pleasure. 2. Tim. 3.26.

5 Because by ill doing all spirituall exercises are hindred, faith is weakened, the conscience wounded, calling one God distur∣bed, and ceased, the holy ghost greeued. Ephes. 4.30. do not ye greeue that holy spirit of God wherewith ye are sealed.
6 They deserue eternall damnation as Paule witnesseth, they that doe such thinges haue noe parte in the kingdome of god, nei∣ther shall they possesse it, Galat. 5.21. & 1. Cor. 6.10.
