1. Spiritual Judgements and soul-sicknesses are greater evils than temporal Judgements and sickness upon the body in respect of the cause, or manner of Conveyance, which is by natural propagation, and so unavoidable. Sin is born with us, it is derived from Parents to Children, from one generation to another. There are some diseases that are conveyed from Parents to Children, but this is not general, nor perpetual to all generations. But the propagation of spiritual diseases is universal and general, it is constant and perpetual. The seed of all sin is derived from Adam to all his Posterity.
