The Morning exercise [at] Cri[ppleg]ate, or, Several cases of conscience practically resolved

Reas. 2 2. There is also in every sin, a spot, stain or brand, whereby the sinner is marked out for Judgment and Condemnation; as we say of a Murderer as to man,¹ so we may say of every sin (which is hatred and so murder of the Blessed God) as to God, there is always some mark or token whereby he is known; and that is the macula, which sin doth impress upon him; now this also, is an indelible Character, as the former of Guilt was (save only when upon the penitent heart-changing application of the blood of sprinkling there is made an alteration of the case.) It is plain, Jer. 17.1. It is written with a pen of Iron and the point of a Diamond. Jer. 2.22. Though thou take thee much nitre, and wash thee with much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord. David cries out so, Psalm 51. O! wash me, purge me! &c. this is the second reason from sin.
