CHAP. VIII. Containing an Use of Information.IS the grace of God pervetted to Lasciviousness? for Information. For Application, this sad, and (as hath been shewen) common sin, a multiplyed, monstrous evil, of eminent guilt, of eternal bad conse∣quence to all that live and dye in it, calls for serious meditation, and fruitful improvement.1. Information, in sundry Inferences, or Consectaries from this sad truth.SECT. 1.INference, that sin of a poysonous nature. It will do evil 1. Sin is of a poysonous nature. Antidotum Lex vitiositas ve∣nenum . because God is good, continue in sinne that Grace may abound, Rom. 6. 1. It powres its poyson upon Gospel Antidotes. It is like the Spider, that converts wholsome things into poyson. It is like the Vintner, that dasheth and corrupts wine with water. We do not so corrupt the word, faith the Apostle. It is like a corrupt sto∣mack that turns good food into crude destructive humours. It is like a corrupt bitter Fountain, that running into sweet holsom waters, turns them into bitterness; they are all corrupters, Jer. 6. 28. It is the genius and brand of envenomed natures. They cor∣rupt good manners, yea the highest things in Religion, are de∣praved by them. The very Grace, Word, and Spirit of God by corrupt sophistication, are made to speak and patronize, what they never allowed. See in this the sad picture of mans faln nature. That vitiosity that first abused nature, ever since turns the grace of God into rank poyson, so little cause hath any man to pride himself in any excellency, that makes in any an occasion to sin.SECT. 2:2. INference, that the Ordinances of grace are no sufficient 2. The Ordi∣nances of grace are no sufficient plea; for happines. plea for happiness. Their Abuse marrs their enjoyment. 0
