Lastly, 1when Corruption gets ground, and grows more impetuous and head-strong from time to time; it is then more then infirmity: when sin fortifieth it self, and can make resistance against whatsoever doth oppose it, it is Reigning sin, sin then in the foul, is as Rex in Regno; as a King in his Kingdom; strengthening and securing its throne against all opposition. Corruption in the Saints is upon the losing-hand; infirmities will grow more and more infirm: as distempers in the body, when a man is upon recovery.
Lastly, 1when Corruption gets ground, and growes more impetuous and head-strong from time to time; it is then more then infirmity: when sin fortifieth it self, and can make resistance against whatsoever doth oppose it, it is Reigning sin, sin then in the foul, is as Rex in Regno; as a King in his Kingdome; strengthening and securing its throne against all opposition.
