9. We have abused the most gracious, and glorious day of visitation that ever any people enjoyed upon earth: passing over it very unprofitably, like sons, and daughters of confusion, not gathering any such stock and store of grace, against our ending hour ⟨p. 224⟩as we might plentifully have done.

11. We have wretchedly abused our own bodies, and souls, by abandoning them to the service of Satan, and making all our members instruments of unrighteousness to sin. Fearfully ⟨p. 225⟩were they infected with Original sin at first, but we have made them much more sinful by our actual transgressions ever since; we have added a great deal of folly in respect of the mystery of CHRIST: every way LORD thou knowest we are become exceeding sinful.
