Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
There are two words in this inference, namely btransgression, and cdisobedience, which in the general may intend one and the same thing; and yet here be also distinguished by their degrees, yea and by their kinds. The verb from whence the first word in Greek is derived, properly signifieth, dto pass over a thing: metaphorically having reference to a Law, or any other rule, it signifieth to swerve from that rule, or to violate and break that Law, eMatth. 15. 3. In this metaphorical sense this word is oft used in relation to the Law of God, and put for any breach thereof: as Rom. 4. 15. Gal. 3. 19. It is put for the first sin of Adam, Rom. 5. 14. and for Eves special sin, 1 Tim. 2. 14.
