Proverbs4:16
Verſ. 16. For they ſleep not] So much are they ſet upon it: Or as empty ſtomacks can hardly ſleep, ſo neither can graceleſs perſons reſt, till gorged and glutted with the ſweet-meats of ſin, with the murthering-morcels of miſchief. The Devil their task-maſter will not allow them time to ſleep: Which is very hard bondage: they have eyes full of Adultery, and that cannot ceaſe to ſin. 2 Pet. 2.
Unleſs they cauſe ſome to f[illegible: 1 letter]ll] Protagoras (as Plato relateth) boaſted of this, that whereas hee had lived threeſcore years, forty of them hee had ſpent in corrupting of young men that converſed with him.
