Nothing that Sinners touch, but they defile, infect, and taint it, (till they are cleansed) whether earthly or heavenly Things; all Creature-Comforts and Actions are unclean to them hereby: The very Ploughing of the Wicked is Sin,1 yea, the Sacraments, Prayers, or Alms, all is polluted, so long as they are unconverted. Unto them that are defiled, nothing is pure, &c.
