Some things are so unclean and filthy, that they defile every thing they touch: Sin is such an Uncleanness who can touch it, meddle with it, and not be defiled by it? 'tis an infectious Uncleanness: as Good is so much the better, by how much the more it is diffusive, so Sin is so much the worse, by how much it is the more infectious and diffusive. Sin is diffusive two ways. 1. By Propagation from Adam to all his Posterity. 2. By way of Imitation.

II. Some things are full of Uncleanness, they abound in Filth and Pollution; such a Defilement and Uncleanness is Sin, it is not in one Part only, but in and upon the whole Man, it goes quite through; there is not the least part free from Head to Heel,1 They are all gone out of the way and become vile, vile all over. There is a double universality of this Uncleanness. 1. It defiles all Men. 2. All of Man, not one Man in the World but is unclean by Sin, and not one part in Man but is unclean; view him in his Understanding, Will, Judgment, Memory, Affection, Conscience, Eyes, Hands, Tongue, Feet, all parts of the Body, and Powers of the Soul are unclean.
