How it is, that every man hath one darling sin or other. [ 1204]
IT is a Maxim in Philosophy,That though all the Individualls of one kind, agree in
one specificall Nature, yet every one hath a particular difference, whereby it is distin∣guished
from another, which is called Hecciety. And so it is, that though Originall
sin be the seed of all kind of wickednesse, and there cannot be an instance given
of any horid crime in the world, but this would carry a man unto it: Yet this
poyson in every man, vents it self rather in one way, then another; so that there
may be many sins acted in common by all, yet severall men have their severall
particular corruptions, their Dalilahs, their beloved sins, which like the Prince of
devills, command all other sins. As in every mans body, there is a seed and prin∣ciple
of death; yet in some there is a pronenesse to one kind of disease more then
other, that may hasten death. So though the root of sin and bitternesse, hath spread
it self over all, yet every man hath his inclinations to one kind of sin rather then
another; and this may be called, a mans proper sin, his evill way, which unre∣pented
of, will inevitably draw down vengeance upon his head, that hath it.
