The evil of thy thoughts and stirrings of the distempers 1of thy heart are hidden and spiritual, and they pass away before thou canst perceive them, much less judg of them aright, but didst thou but see them as they ⟨p. 156⟩are, and upon thorough search couldst truly find out the bottom of that baseness and filth that is there, they would appear exceeding loathsome and heinous to thine own apprehension, as he said, the sin of the soul, is the soul of sin. The sin of the body, is the body and carcass of corruption; that is, in the sinful motions of the soul, of the mind and heart, there is the life, poison, and power of corruption, putting forth it self in the utmost activity of the venom and malignity of it. The Actions of the Body are tainted with the pollution of sin by consent, as the distempers of the mind and heart appear in them, and are acted by them; the body is as it were an accessary in the evil and wickedness; the mind is the principal, that contrives all, useth only the body as an Instrument to vent its own venom and wickedness by.
