Had God imputed our sins so to him as to have esteemed him a Sinner or guilty of our habitual and actual sin as sin (even our hatred of God, and all our wickedness) God must necessarily from the perfection of his Nature, have hated him as a wicked enemy; yea, more than he hated any other man, as being guilty of a world of wickedness.
