Institutes, Book 1 Chapter 6God's Mercy0Institutes, Book 1 Chapter 6
When a man dives under water, he feels not the weight of it, though there be many tons of water over his head; whereas half a tub of it taken out of its place and set upon his head would be burdensome. So, whilst a man is over head and ears in sin, he is not sensible of nor troubled with the weight of it. But when he begins to come out of that state of sin, then sin begins to hang heavy, and he feels the great weight of it.
