ABSTRACT
ALthough that the crime of self-murder be naturally most horrible; yet men only of all creatures do venture upon it, and doe it: the noblest creatures are subject to commit the foulect errors, as men and Angels; and of men, the inlightned only can finne that mortall sin against the holy Ghost: for, they that are able to doe most good, by perverting of their abilities, are able to doe most mischiefe. David in that respect was more affraid of Ahitophel than of all the rest that were against him.
