A. First, in the xmind, there is nothing but ignorance and blindness concerning heavenly matters. Secondly, the yconscience is defiled, being always either benumbed with sin, or else turmoiled with inward accusations and terrors. Thirdly, the zwill of man only ⟨p. 16⟩willeth and lusteth after evil.
