The natural heart is . .
.
the nursery of sin,
the magazine where all the weapons of wickedness lie,
full of antipathy against God,
a lesser Hell!

Morality is but nature refined--old Adam put in a better dress. The garnishing of man with moral excellencies, is but adorning a dead man with a garland of flowers!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Civility is not grace, although it is a good wall against which to plant the vine of grace.
