Parity of sins is an idle dream: a Stoic and Joni•an imagination. For though the wages of all sin be everlasting death; yet some sins shall feel the torments of that death more violent and terrifying, then others. I have other-where showed, that Judas his villainy in betraying his Master, was more horrible, then if a Barabbas, a notorious butcherer had done the deed. So our Saviour insinuated to Pilate. He that delivered me unto thee, hath the greater 1sin. That Babylonian Tyrant committed a more heinous offence, in taking the holy things out of so holy a place, Gods consecrated vessels out of Gods ⟨p. 64⟩Temple; then if he had stolen more precious ones out of a private place. Do you not think that a Cot-purse playing the thief at a Sermon, is more worthy of hanging, then a robber that stands in the highway!
Parity of sinnes is an idle dreame: a Stoickc and Ioni•an imagination. For though the wages of all sinne be euerlasting death; yet some sinnes shal feele the torments of that death more violent and terrifying, then others. I haue other-where shewed, that Iudas his villany inbetraying his Master, was more horrible, then if a Barrabas, a notorious butcherer had done the deed. So our Sauiour insinuated to Pilate. He that deliuer'd me vnto thee, hath the greater 1sinne. That Babilonian Tyrant committed a more haynous offence, in taking the holy things out of so holy a place, Gods consecrated vessels out of Gods ⟨p. 64⟩Temple; then if he had stolne more precious ones out of a priuate place. Doe you not thinke that a Cot-purse playing the theefe at a Sermon, is more worthy of hanging, then a robber that standes in the highway!
