That sin is properly and to all intents and purposes our own.
If thy right eye offend, &c. if thy right hand offend, &c. the Apostle writing to the Colossians, 1speaks thus, Mortify therefore your members, which are upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, &c. these sins, were their members: the whole body of sin is ours, and the members of that body are ours; there is a great difference between our natural body, and our sinful body: our natural body is ours quoad usum, with reference to our use, but it is Gods, quoad creationem, with reference to its creation. The body of man was originally and fundamentally created: now there is a twofold Creation.
