But of this place we may mark and learn,1 what an intolerable burden and unspeakable sorrow, the terror and fear of sin is: and how grievous a thing the sight and contemplation of Gods displeasure and just judgement is against every sinner for his sin and transgression of Gods most holy Law. The text saith, That the Prophet, when he felt the displeasure of God against sin,2 cried out with a loud voice unto the Lord. Whereby we learn, that the conscience of man admonished by the word of God, of the filthiness and abomination of sin, bringeth all the body into a trembling and fear, lest God should use rather justice, and justly punish sin: then mercy, and mercifully forgive sin.
