The root that bears this wild fruit is a degenerate root, and that's the cause of all this sourness and harshness in the fruit it bears; it's the seed of some better Tree accidentally blown, or cast into some waste and bad soil, where not being ⟨p. 175⟩manured and ordered aright, it's turned wild: So all the fruits of unregenerate men •low from the first Adam, a corrupt and degenerate root; he was indeed planted a right seed, but soon turned a wild and degenerate plant; he being the root from which every man naturally springs, corrupts all the fruit that any man bears from him. It's observed by Gregory, pertinent to my present purpose, Genus humanum in parent primo, velut in radice putruit; Mankind was putrefied in the root of his first parent, Matt. 7. 18. A Corrupt tree cannot bring forth good fruit.
