The causes of this our forgetfulness are, first, our natural 1corruption, and the uncleanness of our hearts and minds, being one of the cursed fruits of original sin; whereof it is, that they are forges of wicked thoughts, fountains from which nothing spring but carnal meditations, and like wide sieves, which suffer all the flower of goodness to pass through them, and retain nothing but the gross bran of worldliness and wickedness. This appeareth. Gen. 6. 5. and. 8. 21. 2Mat. 15. 19.
