A supplement to the several discourses upon various divine subjects

(2.) Fewness of sins is no argument of pardon. Conceive, if thou canst, the amiableness and lustre of the Angels, how far beyond the glory of the Sun it was; yet one sin divested ⟨p. 114⟩them of all their glory. It was but one sin kindled Hell for the fallen Angels, Every sin must receive a just recompense of reward. Heb. 2.2. Shall one single sin entitle thee to Hell? what will millions of sins then entitle thee to? One sin is too much against God. Had thy iniquities been never so few, Christ must have died to answer the Pleas of his Fathers Justice against thee. [Every sin is Rebellion against God as a Sovereign, undutifulness to God as a Father^*.] Contempt of God as a Governor, and preferring the Devil before God; the Devil that would destroy and damn thee, before God that made thee, and preserves thee; a preferring the Devil's temptations before God's promises.
