1First, Every sin, even the least sin, doth deserve eternal death. As appeareth by those general places, Cursed is every one that abideth not in all things the Law commands, Gal. 3.10. Now every sin is a transgression of the Law. This the Apostle speaks universally of all sin, without any exception, Rom. 6.23. The wages of sin is death. And indeed this must needs be so, if you consider the least sin is an offence against an infinite God: and in this respect, because God is not a little, but a great God, so every sin is not little, but a great sin. Again, if you consider ⟨p. 205⟩the necessity of Christs blood to expiate this, no sin can be thought little: for if a man had no sin in the world, but one of these little ones, he could not escape eternal wrath, without Christs mediation.
