§. 17. The common Aggravations of sin being written of by many, and easily gathered from what is said of the nature of it, I shall briefly name only a few.
1. The Infinite perfection of God in all those blessed Attributes and Relations, which sin is against, is the Greatest Aggravation of sin.
2. The unconceivable Glory of Heaven which is despised is a great aggravation of sin.
3. So is the greatness of the Torments of Hell, which sinners despise and venture on.
4. So is the great Opposition that God hath made against sin, having said and done so much against it, and declared himself to hate nothing else immediately in the world.
