Pollution of the Mind By Original Sin

Horrible ignorance of God, and the things of salvation doth cover the soul of every man by nature, even as darkness was upon the face of the deep. Thus, Romans 3, you heard the Apostle pronounces generally, "there is
none that understands, or seeks after God, No, not one." Hence also Ephesians 5:8, unconverted persons are said to be "darkness" in the very abstract, and that both
because of their original and acquired blindness of mind upon them.
