    "They know how the bitter root of unbelief in their hearts springs up and defiles them and their duties; -- how effectually vanity works in their minds, and a secret loathness in their wills, in their best duties and most solemn acts of worship; besides innumerable other sinful distempers, that oftentimes get ground and place in their hearts."
