Secondly, for your sins.
First. Doth not Sin sit light? This is […] cause of no small mischief to our souls, this is the cause why Christ is no more […], and the promises no more sweet; […] sits so light: why we can hear the […] a common lovely thing, and be but […] fected with it? If thou couldst but […] a […] ⟨p. 14⟩sense of sin upon thy spirit, this would be a speedy course of preventing sin; this is a cutting down of a great limb of sin. When a man cuts down a Limb of the Tree, a great deal of brush will come down with it; and so if thou dost but cut down this Limb, let sin sit heavy, down comes self, and pride, and many sins will come down with it. How is it that Paul could say, O wretched man that I am &c. and we are no more distressed with the sense of sin?
