The Fifth Burden of Sin.
The Fift Burden of Sin.
Fifthly, The soul Feels Sin heaviest where indeed it is heaviest, when it is rightly burdened, it Feels it heavy, because of the wrath of God that is due to it; But it is most heavy because it is against the Infinite Holy God; and rule of righteousness; there lieth the weight of all,1 that by it I have Struck at the infinite holy God, and bin an enemy to him, as you have had opened to you at large. Now when the heart is truly burdened with sin, it feels Sin heaviest there, as it is against Such an infinite blessed holy God, that is so infinitely worthy of all honour from me.
