Christians, remember the children of God (whilst in the flesh) they are [Greek or Hebrew] of like passions, with other men; when they put on the Saint, they do not put off the Man; and when they begin to be Spirit, they do not cease to be flesh. The best of men are but men at the best. Remember they carry about them the remainders of original corruption; and many times their next Parents bequeath them a wretched Legacy of an ill Constitution; a passionate nature, a timorous nature, a close tenacious nature, &c. upon which accounts, every piece is to be allowed his grains: which if we deny, we sin against God; and wrong the generation of his children, Psal. 73.15.
