The way to true happiness in a serious treatise /

V. Thy raging lusts do miserably enslave thee. While unconverted, thou art a very servant to sin: it reigns over thee, and holds thee under its dominion, till thou art brought within the bond of Gods covenant. John 8. 34, 36. Tit. 3. 3. Rom. 6. 12, 14. Rom. 6. 16, 17. Now there's no such Tyrant as sin. Oh the filthy and fearful work, that it doth engage its servants in! would it not pierce a mans heart to see a company of poor creatures drudging and toiling, and all to carry together faggots and fuel for their own burning?

Who would serve such a master, whose work is drudgery, and whose wages is death? Rom. 6. 23.
