By the which it may be observed, what changes and alterations sin worketh, (God in his providence so appointing) for by their sin this came to 1pass. By eating the forbidden fruit, what an alteration was wrought in the estate of our first parents, that they lost their honour, their holiness, and their ⟨p. 143⟩happiness in one moment of time, and were brought to the contrary, even to utter misery. And David for that one sin with Bathsheba the wife of Uriah, what a breach made he of the most sweet peace of conscience, which 2he before enjoyed, beside the changes that it wrought in this life, by many punishments, and in his posterity also?
