Wicked Men dead in Sin.
Unconverted Men are dead, spiritually dead, they are as dead Men. Life is opposed to Death, which is either the Privation of natural Life, because of the Separation of the Soul from the Body; or the Privation of spiritual and heavenly Life, because of the Separation of the Soul from God through Sin. And this is really true in both respects, in a proper Sense; yet we shall open the State of Men dead in Sin, by comparing this Death with natural Death, between which in some things there is a good Parallel, and to which (in the Judgment of divers worthy Men) the Spirit of God doth allude, &c.
