If God laid the least sin upon thee, pure sin (which none but CHRIST did ever bear here in this world) it would crush thee to pieces with the weight of it, though all the Pillars of Heaven, all the Glorious Angels, should contribute their strength to thee, to help thee to bear thee up.
The least sin doth deserve and draw down an infinite wrath, which nor thou, nor all the Angels in Heaven are able to stand under.
The Damned bear it in Hell. They bear it; and cannot bear it. They are slain with it, but cannot dye. Ever consuming, never consumed.
And therefore how much are you bound to CHRIST! who hath Born sin, a Greater evil than All other Evils; and with sin, All the Torments, and Wrath, and Justice due to sin.
And therefore how much are you bound to CHR•ST! who hath Born sin, a Greater evil than All other Evils; and with sin, All the Torments, and Wrath, and Justice due to sin.
