1Let us consider the aggravation of sin, as it is an offence to God, which may the more instigate us to pardon. In sin we may consider two things; First, The deprivation of that rectitude which ought to be in every thing we do: in which sense, sin is a moral monster, as there are natural monsters, for the soul in sin doth not bring forth fruit answerable unto reason and the Law of God; this consideration may much humble us; but there is another thing in sin which doth more aggravate it, and that is as it is a dishonour, and an offence to God, and by this means it becometh above our power ever to satisfy God for it. Therefore in every sin besides the particular considerations, look upon that general one, which is in all, viz. That peculiar deformity it hath,2 as it is an offence against God. Its disputed, Whether sin have an infinite evil and deformity in it? To answer this, If a sin be considered in its kind, so its not infinite, because one sin is so determined to its kind, that it is not another sin, as theft is not murder.
