"And when we do ! Because your account with him is adding up terrifically. You're dancing a good deal, you know." "How can I help that?" demanded Jane. "Ain't I dancin' atten " Gwendolyn forgot to listen to the remainder of the sentence. All at once she was a little apprehensive on her own account remembering how she had danced beside the soda-water, not half an hour before! "Mr.
ATTEN. No; pray, before you show me anything else of Mr. Badman, show me yet more particularly the evil effects of this sin of pride. WISE. With all my heart I will answer your request. Then: It is pride that makes poor man so like the devil in hell, that he cannot in it be known to be the image and similitude of God.
ATTEN. And how did his good wife take it, when she saw that he had no amendment, but that he returned with the dog to his vomit, to his old courses again? WISE. Why, it broke her heart, it was a worse disappointment to her than the cheat that he gave her in marriage. At least she laid it more to heart, and could not so well grapple with it.
ATTEN. But do you think that the men that do thus, do think that they do so vilely, so abominably? WISE. The question is not what men do believe concerning their sin, but what God's Word says of it. If God's Word says that swearing and cursing are sins, though men should count them for virtues, their reward will be a reward for sin, to wit, the damnation of the soul.
ATTEN. Pray how did she die? WISE. Die! she died bravely; full of comfort of the faith of her interest in Christ, and by him, of the world to come. She had many brave expressions in her sickness, and gave to those that came to visit her many signs of her salvation; the thoughts of the grave, but especially of her rising again, were sweet thoughts to her.
Badman and his master agree so well? I mean his last master, since they were birds of a feather, I mean since they were so well met for wickedness. WISE. This second master was, as before I told you, bad enough; but yet he would often fall out with young Badman, his servant, and chide, yea and sometimes beat him too, for his naughty doings. ATTEN. What! for all he was so bad himself!
ATTEN. Why, I trow, Mr. Goodman your neighbour is not dead. Indeed I did hear that he had been sick. WISE. No, no, it is not he. Had it been he, I could not but have been concerned, but yet not as I am concerned now.
For this is a vain using of that holy and sacred name, and so a sin for which, without sound repentance, there is not, nor can be rightly expected, forgiveness. ATTEN. Then it seems, though as to the matter of fact, a man swears truly, yet if he sweareth lightly and groundlessly, his oath is evil, and he by it under sin.
Those of the prophets that were dead they commended, and those of them that were alive they condemned. ATTEN. But did not Mr. Badman marry again quickly? WISE. No, not a good while after; and when he was asked the reason he would make this slighty answer, Who would keep a cow of their own that can have a quart of milk for a penny?
But the truth is, where this sin gets the upper hand, men are, as I said before, so intoxicated and bewitched with the seeming pleasures and sweetness thereof, that they have neither heart nor mind to think of that which is better in itself; and would, if embraced, do them good. ATTEN. You said that drunkenness tends to poverty, yet some make themselves rich by drunken bargains.
