4. Original sin: even that corruption of our nature wherein all are conceived and borne. This containeth in it the seed and spawn of all sin. And so defileth us throughout as in every power of soul and part of body we are made loathsome, odious, and abominable in Gods sight. This therefore doth David with much compunction of heart acknowledge.1
4. Originall sinne: euen that corruption of our nature wherein all are conceiued and borne. This containeth in it the seed and spawne of all sinne. And so desileth vs throughout as in euerie power of soule and part of bodie we are made loathsome, odious, and abominable in Gods sight. This therefore doth Dauid with much compunction of heart acknowledge.1
5. All our actual sins. These are plain, palpable debts: which the most ignorant that be cannot deny to be so. Under the burden of these the Saints in all ages have much groaned. The more in number, or the more heinous they have been, the more grieved and perplexed the Saints have been for them. Mark Davids bitter complaint in this kind.1 There is no rest in my bones because of my sin. For mine iniquities are gone over my head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
