Therefore we have all need to examine our selves, whether we yet remain in that condition or not. The Apostle brings this description to testify the truth of the point, Gal. 3.22. The Scripture hath concluded all under sin. The whole current and course of the Scripture shows the universality of it, that it's true of all. See, the Apostle speaking of himself and the rest, Tit. 3.3. saith, We our selves also, not only you of the Gentiles, but we our selves also were foolish, disobedient, &c. but after the kindness of God towards man appeared, &c. that is, before the day-star of grace did arise in our hearts, there's not the best of us all but have been thus and thus.

Rom. 3.3. There the Apostle insists on the point expressly, that every mouth might be stopped; to show the state of all men naturally, having laid down a large beadroll of the iniquities of the Heathen, cometh afterward to convince the Jews. What are we better then they; no, we have proved that all are under sin: there is none good, no not one.
