Which drinketh iniquity like water.
Will you know what declares man abominable and filthy in the sight of God? It is not his poverty, his sickness, his rags, or any external defilement, nothing but sin makes him so: He drinks in iniquity like water; this makes him as filthy as the dirt and mire he treads upon, or as the vomit and dung which he casteth out.

Sin, and sin only makes man abominable, and filthy in the sight of God; nothing can defile the soul but sin; though a man be clothed with filthy garments, though his skin be over-run with filthy sores; though he lye in a stinking Channel, yet the Lord will not say, he is abominable or filthy, in these respects: for even in such a state, or at such a time, Christ may have taken him in his arms and kissed him with the kisses of his lips. But though he go clothed in Scarlet, though he lye in a bed of Ivory, and is perfumed with all the spices of Arabia, yet sin makes him filthy and abominable in the eye of the Lord.
