The difference between the spots of the godly and of the wicked preached

Thirdly, It is an infecting-spot, a spot that of itself infects; a Plague spot, that doth infect the soul, and infects every thing you meddle with, and doth infect the company you converse with; that's the nature of this spot.

And then Fourthly, It's a staining-spot, It doth pain the soul, so as all the created power in Heaven and Earth is not able to wash it away; thou mayest think little of the sin that thou committest, thou committest it, and hast pleasure and delight in such a sinful way, for a quarter of an hour; it may be thy pleasure lasts no longer; well, but when this pleasure is done, there's a stain left upon thy soul that doth mark thee out to Eternal Death; such a stain left, that will abide to all Eternity upon the Soul, if only, that one means be not applied, the Blood of Jesus Christ.
