The application of redemption

The daily and ordinary commission of any one sin, §2delivers up the sinner to become a prey to the power of all corruptions even the most detestable; sin lays wast the soul that it becomes a through-fair, and lies open to the most hellish provocations or distempers that can be presented before it and nothing comes amiss, that's the inference when the heathen had no delight to have God in their knowledge, had not liking to such and such righteous and good ways of God, he delivered them up to a reprobate sense, Rom. 1. 28. they had no delight to be ruled by the truth, and the wisdom and holiness thereof, no delight […] know or relish any good; God takes them at their word, and leaves them in the hands of their sins, they should have minds that should never know the truth, hearts that should never approve of it. See presently when the soul is thus laid wast what a drove and inroad of hideous abominations come in, and take possession, and make a prey and spoil of the poor wretched creature as they will, then ver. 29. 30. they are full of all Unrighteousness, Covetousness, Fornication, Envy, proud Boasters, beady, high minded, […] breakers, False, Unfaithful, Disobedient, Unnatural, nothing is a miss what ever the heart of Beelzebub, or the bottom of Hell can harbour, It's the ground of the coherence of that place also Eph. 4. 19. Who being past feeling, they have given up themselves to work all uncleanness with greediness; the poor creature is at the […] and beck of any base abomination; no temptation presseth in, but prevails, no allurement is presented but it surpriseth and taketh aside, no corruption […] but it carries and acts him without gainsaying; the Devil and his distempers take him alive and take him at their pleasures, lead him as they […] and he knows not where he is before he be in the bottomless pit; This is the quintessence of vengeance an unseen evil; […] in truth unconceivable, the terrors of death and the torments […] hell are nothing in comparison of this. When ⟨p. 256⟩the glorious and blessed God through the just desert of sin leaves the creature, at the lust of Satan and his distemper, Lo he is in your […] do what you will with him, I will have nothing to do with him more this is the sentence passed upon the backslider
