It is true, the Corruption within us, is Originally our own, and we have reason to bewail it as long as we Live• and it gives the Believer a world of grief and molestation. And when we neglect our Graces, and allow or nourish our Corruptions, God, as a Father is angry, and Corrects us for it: but however, God looks upon his People according to their Grace. This is the New-Creature, and they are judge such who have it in them.
