page 60 of 244 (24%)
1. His {44b} way was, when come into the place of hearing, to sit
down in some corner, and then to fall fast asleep.

2. Or else to fix his adulterous eyes upon some beautifull Object
that was in the place, and so all Sermon-while, therewith be
feeding of his fleshly lusts.

3. Or, if he could get near to some that he had observed would fit
his humour, he would be whispering, gigling, and playing with them,
till such time as Sermon was done.

Atten. Why! he was grown to a prodigious height of wickedness.

Wise. He was so, and that which aggravates all, was, this was his
practice as soon as he was come to his Master, he was as ready at
all these things, as if he had, before he came to his Master,
served an Apprentiship to learn them.

Atten. There could not but be added (as you relate them) Rebellion
to his sin. Methinks it is as if he had said, I will not hear, I
will not regard, I will not mind good, I will not mend, I will not
turn, I will not be converted.

Wise. You {45a} say true, and I know not to whom more fitly to
compare him, {45b} than to that man, who when I my self rebuked him
for his wickedness, in this great huff replied; What would the
Devil do for company, if it was not for such as I.

Atten. Why did you ever hear any man say so.
