Sin is a perverting of that which is right.
Every (the least) sin is so in some degree, though here, possibly, sins are intended of any, even of the highest degree. The ⟨p. 451⟩Apostle defining sin, calleth it (1 John 3.4.) A transgression of the Law; and if so, it must needs be a perverting of that which is right: For what is or can be right, if the rule of righteousness be not. What the Apostle spake to Elymas (Acts 13.10.) Wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord, shows the nature and effect of every sin, and the more sinful any sin is, by so much the more doth it pervert that which is right. Some sinners are said to make void the law of God, to pervert it, as if they would quite subvert and disannul it. David remembers God of such, and desires him to look to them betimes (Psal: 119.126.) It is time for thee to work, for they have made void thy law; That is, they have done their best, or worst rather, their utmost to make it void, and of no force; 'Tis not in the power of all the powers of the world, to vacat rescind or null one tittle of the law of God, heaven and earth shall pass away before that, yet many attempt it, yea some do that which will be found and interpreted a making void of the law of God, who think themselves great zealots for, or very zealous of the law. That will be the case of many, especially, of all will-worshippers.
