2. Demonstration.
12. That which is Universally Evil; all Evil, and no good, must needs be the Greatest Evil in the world: But sin is All evil.
- 1•. Demonst. sin universally evil, All evil.
As we say of God, There is no Evil in him, He is All Good, Quodcunque in Deo Deus est: So I may say of Sin; There is no Good in it, It is All Evil, Quodcunque in Peccato Peccatum est.
There is some good in the worst things in the world; and some thing in the worst things, to make them capable of our choice of them, in some cases; some good in sickness, some good in Death: But now there is no good in sin, nor can any considerations in the world make sin the Object of our Choice. Though you might avoid Death by sin; yet, because sin is Universally Evil, and No good in it, you may not make use of sin to avoid Death.
