Sin of Omission is most directly contrary to the command of God, and Sin of Commission to the forbidding: in a Sin of Commission there is a certain addition to the Law of God, and in Omission there is a certain detractation from the Law: both which are forbidden. Deut. 4. 2. 12. 32. Rev. 22. 18. 19.

12. This distribution of Sin is not into the kinds of Sin. 1. Because, Commission and Omission being about the same object, and under the same formal respect, do not differ in kind, as in covetousness. 2. Because to speak morally there is no Omission without an act going before, or accompanying it. 3. Because Omission cannot be voluntary and free without an act, unto which act there doth always cleave a Sin of Commission.
