Among men, the Reprobate always, and God’s Elect, till they be regenerate, are wholly led by the sway and swing of Satan: yea, the Regenerate themselves, in how many things doth he carry them? as he did David, to Murder, and Adultery; Lot to Incest; Noah to Drunkenness, &c. And the best of all their actions are stained with some corruption that is his, and cometh from him.
