Where sin is apprehended the Greatest Evil, there it shall have the Greatest sorrow.
1. A sorrow Proportionable to the Measures and Greatness of Sin.
2. A sorrow Proportionable to the Merit and Desert of Sin.
As the merit of sin is infinite, so the sorrow for it must be an infinite sorrow. Infinite, I say, Non Actu, sed Affectu, not in the act and expression, but in the Desire and Affection of the soul.
As the merit of sin is infinite, so the sorrovv for it must be an infinite sorrovv. Infinite, I say, Non Actu, sed Affectu, not in the act and expression, but in the Desire and Affection of the soul.
