Saul was zealous of the Law, and (as he thought) for God; yet Christ rebukes him from Heaven, with Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? Thou stretchest forth thy hand against me, when thou dost it against the Saints; then, there is a stretching out the hand against God, not only by a boisterous opposition of God, As Pharaoh, Sennacherib, and Julian did, but by opposing the ways or word, the Messengers or Servants of God.

Thou stretchest forth thy hand against me, when thou dost it against the Saints; then, there is a stretching out the hand against God, not onely by a boysterous opposition of God, As Pharoah, Senacharib, and Julian did, but by opposing the wayes or word, the Messengers or Servants of God.
Hence Observe.
First, Though every sin be against God, yet some sins are more against God: We cannot say that every one who sins, stretcheth out his hand against God; there is a difference of sins in degree, though they are all in their nature deadly; there is a presumptuous sin, a sin committed with a high hand, which hath these two things chiefly in it.
