And as the heart, so the life of a Christian is like a book which hath many errata's in it; and therefore legendus cum veniâ; the whitest swan hath her black feet; the best gold must have its grains of allowance. There is no man that liveth upon earth, and sinneth not, Eccles. 7.20. All of us offend in many things, and many of us in all things. Jam. 3.2.* Our righteousness as a filthy rag. Isa 64.6. Our graces not without their defects; Lord I believe, help mine unbelief, Mark 9.24. Our duties not without their defaults; When I would do good, evil is present with me, Rom. 7.21. The purest fire hath some smoke, the richest Wine some dregs, but death will turn sin out of all ⟨p. 24⟩its holds, and leave it not so much as a being in the Christian.

Heb. 12.23.
