The application of redemption

Be it, that this shaking Palsy, this Vertigo and giddiness of Spirit, be a disease which hath seized upon the faculty of the Understanding as an hereditary Curse, which comes from the sin of Adam, and is communicated more or less to all his Seed. Thou shouldest labour to look at it as a sickness, and therefore not to maintain a disease, but seek a Remedy how thou mayest be recovered out of it. Thy understanding is full of blindness; and ignorance naturally is one part of the image that was imprinted upon thee by the nature of thy first Parents received; thou wouldest not therefore plead for thy ignorance, and sit down well satisfied with it, but be more studious to amend it, and seek to Heaven, and be studious and painful in the use of all means that thou mayest be healed and cured of it: So do here; take this giddiness of mind, as a fruit of the forbidden tree, as a curse of that carelessness and non-attendance which surprised our first Parents, whereby they slipped aside from under the stream of Gods Providence and blessing, ⟨p. 231⟩and so undid themselves and all their Posterity; only see the evil of it, and seek to be freed and delivered therefrom.
