The ulcer that sits on a creature's heart

(Andrew Gray "Door Unto Everlasting Life") Sin is the ulcer that sits on a creature's heart, and robs him of all true contentment and sound joy. Oh the secret gnawings that envy, and pride, and covetousness give a man's soul. Sin is the soul's disease. It . . . blinds the mind, hardens the heart, enthralls the will, defiles the conscience, deadens the affections, and hurls the whole man into confusion. Sin brings more evils than either tongue can speak—or heart can think.
