The Eleventh Evil.
An Earthly-minded man hath the curse of the Serpent upon him: What was that? Upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat. Thou hast the curse of the Serpent, thou grove-lest upon the earth (as it were) upon thy belly, thy soul ⟨p. 45⟩cleaves to the ground in a sinful way, and dust thou feedest upon: While the Saints are feeding upon Jesus Christ, upon the very flesh and blood of Christ; when they are refreshing themselves with the hidden Manna, Angels bread, corn from Heaven; thou art satiating thy self with the earth, that's thy food, and that's the very curse of the Serpent; it's a sign of a serpentine brood of the old Serpent, to be grovelling upon the earth and to feed upon it.
