Mortification of sin breedeth sense of sin. [ 507]
NEm••aegrè molitur artus suos; A living member is not burthensom to the body,* 1.1
A mans arms are not any burthen to him, though otherwise massy and
weighty; but a withered arm, or a limb mortified, hangeth like a lump of lead on
it:* 1.2 Thus so long as sin liveth in the soul, unkilled wholly, and unmortified as yet,
so long our corruption is nothing at all cumbersome unto us, but when it is once mor∣tified
in a man, it beginneth to grow burthensome unto him, and to hang like a
lump of dead flesh on his soul, and then beginneth the poor soul, pestered and op∣pressed
with the weight of it to cry out with the Apostle; O wretched man that I
am, when shall I be once freed from this body of sin? Rom. 7. 24.
