To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hence, Christ is said to have come into the world "to save sinners;" to have suffered, " the just for the unjust, " &c. &c. Now, since an interest in the redemp- tion of Christ is essential to all men, it follows that all men must be sinners, or they would not need it ; that even those who are entering upon a course of moral resi:)onsi- bility must be sinners, since personal interest in the sal- vation of Christ is essential for the child, as well as the adult. If, therefore, all are sinners — ...if even the youngest moral agent is a sinner — there must exist, according to our former argument, in all men, a native propensity to sin.
