If sin be the Greatest Evil, Then it must have The Greatest Sorrow. 1No affliction, no trouble, no evil, should be so bitter to us, as sin; because sin is the Greatest Evil.
- 11. Sin calls for greatest sorrow.
It is a sad thing to see our hearts tender, and sensibly affected with Lesser evils and troubles; and yet to be hard and insensible for sin, which is the Greatest of evils.
It would therefore be our wisdom, when any other evils be upon us, To turn all our sighs, tears and sorrows upon sin.
It is an Aphorism in Physic—Erumpens sanguis, vená sectâ sistitur: If a man bleed vehemently in one place, they let him blood in another, and so turn the stream of blood another way.
