Doct. 3. The words may be rendered […]: What glory is it, if sinning and buffeted, ye• ••ke it patiently? The word rendered Sinning, signifies properly to err from the way, or miss the mark: and so it shows us the nature of sin, which swerveth from the direction of Gods Word, that agreeth not to the way there appointed. Where God hath appointed a way, not to walk in it, or to go besides it, is sin: and in what things GOD hath not in his Word appointed a way, there men ⟨p. 785⟩have liberty, and they are to be reckoned indifferent, and there are a world of such things.
