IV. A wicked Man can converse with no Man, but, as a Leper, he infects him by his ill Example; he endangers the Lives and Souls of Men.
VI. None but the High-Priest pronounced a Person clean from the Leprosy: so none but Christ can discern our Uncleanness, and pronounce us clean, and wholly free from the Plague of Sin.
O What is Sin? it is a Leprosy, When Scripture so compares it, may not I Call it a Plague, a Wound, a loathsome Sore, That doth corrupt and spread the Soul all 'ore? Like to an Ulcer, or infectious Boils, Which the whole Man most woefully defiles. O how do Men fly from the Pestilence, And shall not we learn Wisdom now from thence? Sin is a Plague that kills eternally, All sorts of Men, unless they swiftly fly To Jesus Christ; no Medicine will do good, Nor heal the Soul, but this Physicians Blood.
