Q 4. How doth it appear that the want of internal conformity is sin?
A. Because the Law requires it. Mark 12.30. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength; for this is the first commandment. And condemns the want of it, Rom. 7.7. What shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid; nay, I had not known sin but by the law; for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
Q 5. Is nothing a sin but what is against God's Law?
A No, nothing can be a sin but what God hath either expressly, or by consequence forbidden in his word.
