A third Reason is this, Because sin is more visible and manifest to the soul then their graces are; therefore they are more troubled for sin. You read in Galatians 5. 19. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, ••riance, emulations, wrath, strife, &c.
