sinnable

I represented to my father that I was very sinable [sic], that I had done wrong in espousing a cause so repugnant to his feelings, and contrary to my own opinion also.

All the elements of sin are found in the narrative :—1, innocence ; 2, a known law accompanied with a clear prohibition ; 3, a sinnable nature ; 4, an object desirable to that nature ; 5, the activity of the temptation under a veiled and so not repulsive form ; 6, yielding to the seduction ; 7, conscious guilt ; 8, fear and flight ; 9, detection ; 10, exposure and condemnation.
