4. God did thus complain against Israel: where are his complaints, you will say, against us? Sure, our sins are not grown to so proud a height▪ as to threaten Heaven, and provoke GOD to quarrel. Oh ill-grounded ⟨p. 245⟩flattery of our selves: an imagination that adds to the measure of our sins. Whiles we conceive our wickedness less, even this conceit makes it somewhat more. If we say, that we have no sin, 1there is no truth in us. Nothing makes our guilt more palpable, then the pleading our selves not culpable. Every drop of this presumptuous Holy-water, sprinkled on us, brings now aspersions of filthiness. It is nothing else, but to wash our spots in mud. Yet speak freely. Doth not God complain? Examine. 1. The words of his mouth. 2. The works of his hand.
