Doct. All sin is unrighteousness, (and cleanse us from all unrighteousness, that is, from all sin.)
Doct. All sin is unrighteousnesse, (and cleanse us from all unrighteousnesse, that is, from all sin.)
Sin and unrighteousness, the one explains the other, Rom. 6.13. yield not your Members weapons of Unrighteousness, that is, weapons of sin; sometimes Unrightnesse is properly confined to the sins of the second Table, as unholiness to the first, but sometimes righteousness comprehends the whole course of a Christian, and Unrighteousness comprehends all sins. [Greek or Hebrew].

Reas. Because every sin doth either God wrong, or others, or our selves; Righteousness gives every one his due; if we sin in temperance, we debase and defile our selves, if we sin in theft or slander, we wrong others in their goods or good names, if we worship not God as God, if we keep not his Sabbaths, or profane his name, we wrong God.
