1Every man hath some Herodias, some sin or other that he is in bondage to, till he be in Christ. He cannot in a like measure, be given and enthralled to all sins, it is unnecessary: because one sin serveth another; many sins serve one great one. Corruption doth not run in all streams in one equality: but it runs amain one way unchecked, and uncontrolled, and unmortified, (in all men that are not in Christ) and subdues the soul to it self, that it can devise, and plot for nothing, but to satisfy that base lust. This is the state of man by nature.
