Sinful distempers are then our infirmities, when they are our afflictions. Men account themselves miserable, because of their infirmities in the natural life; 1and so do the Saints in the spiritual: Oh! wretched man that I am: the word signifieth, a ⟨p. 23⟩man beset with, or crushed under affliction and miseries: 2the corruptions of the Saints are matter of continual sorrow and sighing, causing them to go up and down as mourners in the world.
