The wicked are estranged from the womb, they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Ignorance of God, and alienation from him is rooted in the hearts of all the posterity of sinful Adam, and the Apostle give •n us a true account how it is with every natural man, before regenerating Grace hath renewed him, Eph. 4.18 having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart.
