It is med true that the Heathen man faith, Qui Wet unigm VI tiumsbabee ontnia3 he that hath any one vice (uk, reigning) hath ail others with it. Seneca de benef: c. If. Dan. one fin lived in and allowed, will as certainly damn a man, as many ; as one difeafe, one ulcerous part, may as certainly kill a man, as many. Satan knows, that one fin lived in and allowed, will render a man as unclean in the eye of God as many. If the Leper- in the Law had the fpot of leprofie in any one part of his body, he was accounted a Leper, although all the reit of his body were found and whol : So he who bath the fpot of the leprofie of fin allowed in any one part of his foul, he is a fpiritual Leper in the eye of God, he is un- clean, though in other parts he may not be unclean.
