IX. Some Sores, Wounds and Scabs, bring Shame upon such who have them: Sin is such a Sore, and so hateful a Scab, that it causes Shame, and Confusion of Face. Sin is the shame of any People,1 and yet how do some glory in it? They glory in their Shame! Sin is the soul Disease; the Hurt, nay all the Hurt, Sorrow, and Shame Sinners meet with, came in originally by Sin, by yielding to the Devil, and by adulterating from God: no running Sore, no Scab, no breaking out in the Flesh, like Sin in the Heart and Life of a Sinner.
1X. Some Wounds are Mortal: Sin makes a mortal Wound; The Soul that Sins shall die; and, unless ye believe that I am he, ye shall die in your Sins. If ye live after the Flesh, ye shall die, &c. I do not say there is no Help, nor Cure for these Spiritual Sores and Wounds; yet I must say they are incurable, as to Man, no Man can find by all his Skill and Art any healing Medicine. And upon this account the Lord said of Judah and Israel, their Wound was incurable, they had brought themselves into such a Condition, that none could help them, nor bring them out; O Israel, thy destruction is of thy self, but in me is thy help. Indeed some Men are so desperately and dangerously wounded, that there is little hope of them, they have all the signs of Ruin and Eternal Death upon them imaginable.
