3. If they know not that Gods way is better than sin, they are brutish.
4. If they love Good, and hate Evil no better then here, then they are no better.
5. If their will do not wish that they had not done it, then their will is not holy and averse to sin: Either they review it with approbation, (which you believe not) or with dislike, or senselessly with no act of will. If with dislike, and displicence, as before is proved, that hatred, or aversation contains a wish, they had never done it.

And if they wish it not there, their wills are more unholy than here.
