The application of redemption

If […] be evil in the tongue that […] it, is it not worse in the heart that indites it? Wickedness in our actions and speeches, are but the brats and brood of our minds and hearts, there they were conceived and fashioned in all the parts and proportions of wickedness as in […] womb, a mans practice doth but like the Midwife, bring them into the world, into open view, it makes the evil appear, but evil in the very heinousness was there before: Nay, the Mind hath not a hand in the plotting only of all these evils, but it puts forth a special power in the execution of the works, which otherwise would be at a stand. The mind doth not only conceive, but it travels for deliverance, and brings it forth into action; that is the meaning of the place which carries both depth of difficulty and excellency in it, Isai. 5. 18. There is a Generation which draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with Cart-ropes. We will open two things here.
