The Devil sinned from the beginning, and men have sinned from their beginning, not only have there been sinnings, but great sinnings from the beginning; the old way is the way of sin, though the oldest way be not. There was holiness before there was sin, and truth before there was Error; So that the way of sin is the old way, but not the oldest way. God, all whose ways are holy, was from everlasting. The Angels who have been holy as long as they have been, were from the beginning. And the first beginning of man in his conversation, was, no doubt, like his constitution, holy. He quickly went out of the way, but surely his first step was not out of the way, he went right before he went wrong, and stood before he fell. Again, if you take the way for the way of punishment.
