1. No man living but he is borne a servant to sin: sin is his 1Lord before he can tell who is his Master, sin requires not age to set on the crown, but even in the very womb, doth it begin its reign, and poisons, and impaireth our whole nature, therefore the Apostle saith, that by nature we are the children of disobedience and wrath as well as others, Ephesians 2. 2. it is the disposition, and sway, and bent of us to sin, and to walk on in sin.

2. It is an hard thing to get off the dominion of sin. Sin is a 1strong man, It hath possession, and goes not out by entreaty or bribe, but it must be by force, by one that his stronger: I assure you, that the almighty God must reveal his own arm, and he must cast down strong holds, he must work a kind of a miracle, or else sin will still be a Lord, and the sinner will be a servant to his lusts: A man may change any Master soever, and with more ease then sin?
