234. Every sin is Voluntarium-prohibitum: And so far as Impossible things may be Voluntaria-prohibita (which is all the doubt) so far they may be sins.
235. Gods Law is Antecedent to our practice, and mediately ex parte sui bindeth us at once to all that we must do to the End of our Lives. As if a Master in the Morning command his servant his work till night. Therefore as if that servant purposely break his Spade or other Tools that he may not work, he is not therefore so disobliged as to be guiltless; even so when man by sin disableth himself to his commanded duty, the Law is not changed, but is still the same, nor is he thereby excused.
