Reasons. 2 Secondly, There is the same authority forbidding or commanding in all; As the Apostle James argueth, Jam. 2. He that said Thou shalt not do thus, said also Thou shalt not do thus: If therefore the same God put forth his authority in every Command, Who are thou that darest omit one and not another?
Reasons. 3 Thirdly, The motive is the same; For every sin because it's sin and a dishonour to God, draweth him out to hate it, and in duties good because it's good, doth move him; Now the least sin is sin, and we kill young Serpents as well as old ones, and the least good is acceptable to God, and he will reward it.
Reasons. 3 Thirdly, The motive is the same; For every sinne because it's sinne and a dishonour to God, draweth him out to hate it, and in duties good because it's good, doth move him; Now the least sinne is sinne, and we kill young Serpents as well as old ones, and the least good is acceptable to God, and he will reward it.
Reasons. 4 Lastly, In respect of the privative part, of the punishment of sin, all are equal, which is the loss of God and Heaven; The least sin depriveth of the happy Vision of God as well as the greatest, so that in this sense we may say there is no little sin, no more then there is a little God, and so likewise for the good of any duty; The least shall have heaven as well as the greatest, though not such degrees; Even a cup of cold water doth not lose its reward, Mat. 10.42.
