A discourse of the saving grace of God

I, but though this be noisome and unpleasing, yet there's no danger, no Infection in it. O but sin is a contagious Pollution, 'tis like a ⟨p. 10⟩Plague-fore in the heart, an infectious Leprosy; it will diffuse its malignity like the poison of Asps.

I, but if a man be visited with the Plague or Leprosy, he seems rather an object of compassion, than detestation; rather to be pitied than loathed. Go yet one step further.

Sin is not only contagious, but a loathsome noisome Filthiness. The Holy Ghost compares it to the stench of an open Sepulchre, to the Vomit of a Dog, to the corrupted matter of a putrefied Ulcer. Such is the temper of a Soul by sin.
