But thou ſaidſt There is no hope] viz. Of reclayming us, we are reſolved on our courſe, and will take our ſwing in ſin whatſoever come of it, Iſa. 28.14, 15. & 57.10.

Sincere Convert. 222. that deſparing of their lives (when upon ſubmiſſion they had been promiſed their lives, yet) being conſcious of their villany, made a curious banquet, and at the end thereof every man drank up his glaſſe of poyſon and killed himſelf: ſo men feeling ſuch horrible hard hearts, and privy to ſuch notorious ſins, they caſt away ſouls and all for luſt, and ſo periſh wofully, becauſe they lived deſperately, and ſo ſecurely.
