Jeremy have been asking the holy spirit for his help with this and in regards to the lame man that Jesus healed I do nt believe that
sin was the issue for him just like the blind man was it his parents or did he

speak in his name, with that plainness and simplicity, that seriousness and gravity, that zeal and concern, which the business requires; to accommodate ourselves to the capacity of the common people
without disgusting our more knowing hearers by the insipid flatness of our discourse; to excite and awaken drowsy souls,
