Q. 12. What is the danger of this sin?
A. It brings Mens Souls, Bodies and Estates under the Curse of God, Zech. 5.•, 4. Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off, as on this side, according to it: —I will bring it •orth saith the Lord of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, &c.
Q. 13. What's the first Instruction hence?
A. Let all that are guilty of this sin repent, and restore, as they expect Mercy from God, Eph. 4.28. Let him that stole, steal no more, &c. Luke 19.8. And Z•cheus stood, and said unto the Lord, Behold Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken away any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him four fold.
