(7ly,) The more Bonds of Restraint any man breaks asunder to commit sin, the greater, and more aggravated always that sin is in the sight of God. There be some persons upon whom God hath laid more bonds of restraint to keep back their souls from iniquity, than he hath upon others. The more mercies he hath bestowed upon you, the more restraints from sin. So many mercies, so many ties, Jer. 2. 5, 6. especially spiritual mercies; as light in your minds, pardons sealed to your consciences, love manifested to your souls. Such also are your own Vows, Promises and Resolutions; Jer. 2. 20. Thou saidst, I will no more transgress. Didst not thou promise me, saith God, more care and circumspection for time to come? And such are all the Examples and Warnings God hath given us, by his Judgments ⟨p. 269⟩upon others, 1 Cor. 10. 11. These things put an Accent upon sin, and make it out of measure sinful.
