SECT. IV.
Why Original Sin is called Man.
Why Original Sinne is called Man.
Therefore let us see the reason, why it's called Man, and then the Old man; original sin may be called a Man,
THerefore let us see the reason, why it's called Man, and then the Old man; original sinne may be called a Man,
First, Because that so far as we are men, quanti sumus, we are all over polluted; So that the old man is the whole man polluted in this sin before he be regenerated: Insomuch that this phrase may sadly and deeply humble us, that the Scripture gives the name of man to sin, as if that were all we are: Hence (as you have heard) to walk as a man, to speak as a man, is to do a thing sinfully, as far as thy humanity reacheth, so far thy pollution reacheth; So that the very calling of thee a man may greatly debase thee; for though thou art a rich man, a great man, yet this Old man doth infect thee.
