3. There is no remedying of your misery but • ⟨p. 93⟩removing of these from you. The man must of necessity be unhappy, so long as there is a Sentence of Death out against him, pronounced •y the mouth of an holy and just God, and he goes every moment in danger of the execution of it upon him, and the power of the whole Creation cannot rescue him from it; and so it is with every Unregenerate one, Isa. 57. 21. There is no peace to the wicked saith my God. Nor can the sinner serve to the noble end of •is being, so long as he is altogether unclean, •nd hath nothing on him but wounds, & ulcers, and putrefying sores; whiles he is a slave to impure lusts, he must needs endure a wretched bondage, and may well cry out as he in, Rom. •. 24. O wretched man that I am, who shall de•ver me?
