M. All the Abominable Things that you have done, are but the Streams, whereof you have the Spring, in an Heart that is Desperately Wicked, and a Mother of Abominations. What sense have you of This! Do you with a vast, self-ab•or•enc•, behold, That you were Born Sinners; and that under the Condemnation which the Sin of your Fir•• Parents brought on Mankind▪ you have Contracted ⟨p. 40⟩a Venomous Disposition to Sin against the Glorious GOD, and an Inclination to all manner o• Sin; So that if GOD had not withheld you fr•m •inning against Him, there is no manner of Sin but what you would have run into! — An Heart always Departing from the Living GOD.
