All Sins of Commission in Youth and ⟨p. 183⟩Age, whether gross Sensuality, as Lasciviousness, Lusts, excess of Wine, Revellings, Banquetings, and abominable Idolatries, and all excess of Riot, shall be accounted for to him who is ready to judg the quick and the dead: 1or Acts of Unrighteousness to others. He that doth wrong, shall receive according to the Wrong he has done. And Sins of a lesser guilt, for which the most are not touched with grief or shame,2 shall then be produced in Judgment. All the Sins of our Words, so easily committed, and not so easily observed, shall then be called to a heavy remembrance.
