•iabolus te non faceret perversum, nisi tua te origo fecisset pervertibilem. Satan could not •ake men profane rebellers, unless their unclean nature had first made them sin•ers. From this impure beginning, comes all iniquity: for naturally the seeds of all ••nnes are within us: and it corruption proceed, eruption will easily follow. And •od will smite him that sins, though (as Saul said) it be my son Jonathan. Indeed •e smote his own son JESUS for our sake, not for Angels. Christs side was laun••d, to let out our impostume. It is his grace alone that reduceth us to our beginning; yea to a far better beginning, such an one, as shall never have ending.
