But not to repent in such times as these are, is a sin that hath a double aggravation upon it to make it exceeding sinful.
But not to repent in such times as these are, is a sin that hath a double aggravation upon it to make it exceeding sinfull.
For first, these times are times of the Gospel, times of knowledge, 1times of the Spirit. And though God winks at the times of ignorance, yet he will not wink now. To sin against the Gospel is a greater sin then to sin against the Law, Heb. 10. 28, 29. For he that sins against the Gospel, sins against more mercy then he that sins against the Law. And Gospel sins will bring Gospel curses, which are greater then Legal curses. If any man sin against the Law, he hath the Gospel to fly unto; but if he sin against the Gospel, what shall he then fly unto? The Curse of the Gospel is Anathema Maranatha. Not to repent now, is to sin against the privilege of the Covenant of grace; against the purchase and donation of Christ; against the Incarnation, death, resurrection, and exaltation of Jesus Christ; as I showed before.
