Secondly, in Adams sin let us all see our own sinfulness, and our mortality and misery in his misery,1 For by one man sin came into the world, and by sin death, and so death passed over all. This sin is our sin after a sort, we must lament it and bewail it, and be humbled for it, and in the sense of our wretchedness run to the promised seed to deliver us from sin and death, and to repair the Image of God in us by the mighty work of his Spirit, which is as easy for him to do as to create us just at the first, and which he will as certainly perform for us if we seek it as he did then in our first making.

This sinne is our sinne after a sort, we must lament it and bewaile it, and be humbled for it, and in the sence of our wretchednesse runne to the promised seed to deliver us from sinne and death, and to repaire the Image of God in us by the mighty worke of his Spirit, which is as easie for him to doe as to create us just at the first, and which he will as certainely performe for us if we seeke it as hee did then in our first making.
Again, let us learn to hate and loath sin and Satan, not to hearken to his suggestions, but to believe Gods threats and submit to his Commandments, let the husband resolve not to obey the voice of his wife against God, let the wife take heed of drawing her husband to sin, let the husband rather reform her then be corrupted by her. O beware of thinking to get any thing by doing wickedness, disobedience will bring nothing in conclusion but misery and unhappiness.
