A. Every day men fall into sin. The Metaphor ofa drinking iniquity like water, importeth as much: for it showeth that it is as ordinary and familiar for a man to sin as to drink, which he doth oft every day. Dares any man deny the truth of this doctrine upon his experience? If he dare, surely his conscience is as seared with an hot iron, or else he lieth against his conscience. For the forenamed original corruption as it remaineth in us, so it remaineth as a spring in us, continually sending forth some salt and bitter water of sin, more or less.
