Religion
Book III, 90: On naturall Sins
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book III
Religion
To murther Parents, or our selves, has bin,
Though falsly, counted an unnaturall Sin:
By Nature, we are apt to fall into 't;
I rather think't unnaturall not to doe't:
If heav'n should but forsake us, 'twere agin.
The very course of Nature, not to sin.
