<p>Note 1. The way of sin is vexatious and dangerous: <i>In the way of the froward</i>, that crooked way, which is contrary to the will and word of God, <i>thorns and snares are</i> found, thorns of grief for past sins and snares entangling them in further sin. He that makes no conscience of what he says and does will find himself hampered by that imaginary liberty, and tormented by his pleasures. Froward people, who are soon angry, expose themselves to trouble at every step. Every thing will fret and vex him that will fret and vex at every thing. 2. The way of duty is safe and easy: <i>He that keeps his soul</i>, that watches carefully over his own heart and ways, is <i>far from</i> those <i>thorns and snares</i>, for his way is both plain and pleasant.</p>
