4. Sin reigns and predominates in the Hearts of the Wicked: But Sin, tho it may sometimes tyrannize in a Saint, yet he obeys it not, he is not the Subject or Servant of Sin: The one yields and subjects to Sin; the other opposes and resists it, every Faculty of his Soul is set against it; and not only so, but against every Sin.
VI. Sickness brings oft-times utter Weakness upon the Body: So Sin brings Weakness upon the Soul: I am feeble, &c. It makes a Christian very faint. [See Leprosy.]
VII. Some Sickness is very grievous to be born: So Sin is grievous to a true Christian, who is made sensible of it.
VIII. A Man that finds himself very sick, and like to die, will soon look out for Help, or send to a Physician: So the Soul that is sin-sick, will seek for Help, viz. hasten to Jesus Christ, for none else can cure the Sickness of the Soul.
