The truly blessed man

1. That man by his fail is turned out of the way of felicity. God sat man right at first Eccles. 7.29. But it is of the very nature of sin to take a wrong course, 1 Joh. 3.4. Which is therefore assigned to the state of fallen man, Psal. 14.3. He is a lost thing, Luk. 19.10. Man hath not lost his natural desire to be happy, but he is gone from the method that was given him to obtain it.

2. As long as he is out of the way, every step he takes leads to destruction. There are but two ways, one leads to life, the other is the path to ruin; till then he gets into the right way again, he is pursuing his own undoing. Every man is in some way, every thought, word and deed is a step in that way, all the man doth hath a tendency to some end, and what tends not to happiness, must to misery; The wages of sin is death, Rom. 6.23. Every man in this world is laying up treasure for another; if not in heaven, it is in hell, which is the woeful end of the Sinners way.
