Nathans parable. Sins discovery, with it's [sic] filthy secret lurking in the brest of men. Or, some few discoveries what the sinfulness of sin is, and spoile it hath made on man, in nine particulars. With the sad experience of it on the author: written, if it may be, to warn all men, especially, the saints, to take heed and to beware of sin. With a letter written to his excellency the Lord General Cromwell. By Edmund Chillenden.
SIN is of it self an evil sickness, or disease, that hath crept into all mankinde, since the fall, Rom. 5.18, 19. and it may very fitly be called, the evil of evils, for the devils by reason of sin, fell (from being Angels of light, keeping not their first station, or habitation ) to utter darkness, debarred of that light, liberty, and happiness, which they injoyed, being by reason of it thrust down to hell; there being kept in everlasting chains under darkness of damnation, in that day he will judge the world, 2 Pet. 2.4. Jude 6. Sin filled them full of all deadly poison and malice, and so they became adversaries and enemies to God and his creatures men, therefore he is called Satan, Job 1.6. Rev. 20.2. 1 Pet. 5.8. Zech. 3.1. 1 Thess. 2.18. Divel, Deut. 32.17. with 1 Pet. 5.8. for your adversary the Devil, as a rouring Lyon walks about seeking whom he may devour;
