1 Because this Sin is so sweet and delightful to a Sinner, that he doth very hardly part with it; he will forsake all that he possesseth, yea and adventure life it self, rather than forsake his beloved Sin;1 and therefore it may fitly be called the Sin that hangeth so fast on, as being not easily cast off.

2 One beloved Sin in the bosom so alienates the heart, that it cannot love Christ as it should; as one stranger in the bosom of the Wife, so takes up her affection, that she cannot love her Husband as she ought.
