And then we are under actual sins,3 which are so many bonds to tie us fast under sin. We are dead by nature, but we are dead and rotten by actual sins; we super add to the guilt of our sin, by our daily conversation. We are blind by nature, but we are blinded indeed much more, by our custom of life. Every sin doth, as it were, tie us faster to damnation, and keeps us faster under the bondage of sin. Every new sin takes away some part of the light of the understanding, and takes away some freedom of the will; it darkens the judgement more and more, and enthrals the will and affections, and binds a man more and more to the just sentence of God: That as it is, Prov. 5.2 the sinner is tied with the bonds of his own sins: he is under the chains of an habituated wicked course of life, as well as of the sin of nature, which is the spring of all.
