Observe.
Such as our thoughts and conceptions are, such are our productions. They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity; such as we plough and sow in the mind, such is the Harvest of our actions: The very form, the lineaments and portraiture of a ⟨p. 203⟩mans spirit is drawn upon the things he doth; his works are the image of his heart. As it is said of Adam in nature, He begat a Son in his own likeness; so doth every man in morals. Our actions are as our selves are, they are begotten and brought forth in our own likeness, whether good or evil, only with this difference, Good actions are borne in our supernatural likeness, evil actions in our natural likeness.
