He is as much out with all as with any, they are all alike to him, that is, he likes none of them; they would not consider any of his ways. He that hateth one truth of God, hateth all truth, though possibly his hatred is not called out or acted against some truths; and he that hateth one law of God, hateth all his laws, though possibly his lusts are not drawn out against some of them. The reason why the Apostle James saith, (chap. 2.10.) Whosoever shall keep the whole Law, and yet offend in one point, is guilty of all, is, because if a man hath a mind to sin against one branch of the law, that evil principle will carry him to sin against any branch of it: If he be not stopped from without, he finds no stop within against the worst of sins, as it is a sin.
He is as much out with all as with any, they are all alike to him, that is, he likes none of them; they would not consider any of his wayes. He that hateth one truth of God, hateth all truth, though possibly his hatred is not called out or acted against some truths; and he that hateth one law of God, hateth all his laws, though possibly his lusts are not drawn out against some of them. The reason why the Apostle James saith, (chap. 2.10.) Whosoever shall keep the whole Law, and yet offend in one point, is guilty of all, is, because if a man hath a minde to sin against one branch of the law, that evil principle will carry him to sin against any branch of it: If he be not stopt from without, he findes no stop within against the worst of sins, as it is a sin.
Fifthly, We translate any, the Original word is [all] his ways, which imports a refusing of every one of his ways; there are several Scriptures of a like sense (Psal. 103.1, 2.) O praise the Lord, and forget not all his benefits; that is, forget not any one of his benefits; not that a man shall be excused, though he forget many of the benefits of God, or half his benefits, if so be he forget not all, or remember some: but when that Scripture saith, forget not all his benefits, the meaning is, forget not any one at all. Thus here, they considered not all his ways, (that's the letter of the Text, and so Mr Broughton translates,) that is, none of them. Taking that reading, and the Scripture sense given of it, it gives us this useful Observation.
