A. The more Mercies any man sins against, the greater is his sin, Rom. 2.4. Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forbearance, and long-suffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? And especially when 'tis against Spiritual Mercies and Means of Salvation, Heb. 2.3. How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation. &c.
