The sin of Israel.
The sin, that is, in the very abstract, sin; 'tis more than if he should say, the sinful things of Israel, the very sin of Israel.
The sin, that is, in the very abstract, sin; 'tis more than if he should say, the sinfull things of Israel, the very sin of Israel.
The more any thing comes to have the nature of sin, 1the more vile and abominable it is. Therefore God expresseth it by ⟨p. 407⟩an expression that should come as near the nature of sin it self, as he could to make it abominable. Their sin, that is their Idolatrous worship.
- 1Obs. 2.
Their false worship, 1it is the great sin; and it was the greater sin in Israel, because that their holiness did especially consist in instituted worship, their holiness was typical, and much stood in instituted worship; it's true, God would have true holiness if ever they came to Heaven, but that holiness upon which they were called, a holy people, it was in their instituted worship, and it was typical, to set forth the true holiness that should be in all the Members of the Church now, therefore God was much provoked with their pollutions in instituted worship, their holiness consisted so much in it.
