The third Burden of Sin.
Thirdly, The Soul that is burdened with sin doth so feel the weight of it, as that the back is bowed down and tired, at least makes it look upon it self as a vild and loathsome Creature, and fit to be dealt withal as a vild and loathsome creature; it is burdened so, as the heart is in some measure tired with it.
Thirdly, The Soul that is burdned with sin doth so feel the weight of it, as that the back is bowed down and tyred, at least makes it look upon it self as a vild and loathsom Creature, and fit to be dealt withal as a vild and loathsom creature; it is burdened so, as the heart is in some measure tired with it.
The fourth Burden of Sin.
Fourthly, Yea so burdened with sin, as that it now trembles at the least thought of sin, or temptation to sin fearing that if it should willingly commit any further ⟨p. 18⟩known sin, that it would so ad unto the burden, as that it would press the soul down to eternal misery: it is so burdened, that it dares not ad any one sin more, as far as it can at least, it is afraid of adding any more sins least one more should sink it to Hell.
