The fountain opened, or, The great gospel privilege of having Christ exhibited to sinful…The fountain opened, or, The great gospel priviledge of having Christ exhibited to sinfull…

A. There are some who take these two words to be Synonymical, and to intend one and the same thing; only allowing an Emphasis in▪ the ingemination of things, they suppose them to include all sorts and degrees of Sin. Some, by Sin understand those errors, or ordinary transgressions which men live in the Commission of; & by Uncleanness the more enormous and Conscience wasting sins which they defile ⟨p. 78⟩themselves withal▪ s•me again, by Sin understand Actual Sin; and by Uncleanness • riginal Sin, which is the root of defilement man, and makes all the actions which he doth polluted. But there is yet another sense which is more generally entertained, and seems mor appositely to belong to the meaning of the Text, and recommends to us the excellent virtue of this fountain, and its extensive usefulness, viz that by Sin we are to understand the Guilt, and by Uncleanness the Defilement that contracted by Sin. There are two woeful p perties of sin, recorded in the word of Go in which the misery of sinful mn is comprehended.
