The application of redemption

Besides this bitter fruit which the sinner is forced to §4taste of sin in his own particular, view we the extent of that evil which sin doth unto others; and that partly which is common to every corruption of what ever kind or degree, it is of great or small, open or secret, whether more loathsome and not […] to the eyes of men, or that which is esteemed less in the account of the world, that which is an ingredient into the nature and constitution and making up of every corruption that it makes a breach upon the righteous law of God i. e. not only shakes of the rule and sovereignty of the law, but prefers in truth the supremacy of our lusts, before the authority of the Lord himself which ho hath and ought to exercise over our souls. For the sinner in the practice of any sin proclaims this unto the world, its not the royalty of the righteous law of God but mine own distemper shall rule me: not his will but mine own wayward corruption shall […] the balance; Its not the wisdom of the word but my folly, and the vanity of my ignorant mind shall lead me in what I do; Its not the goodness of the Law of Gods holiness but the pleasing ⟨p. 259⟩corruptions of mine own carnal heart shall content me; in a word, each man professeth God shall not be his God but he sets up his lust in his room and doth homage thereunto; than which what greater indignity can be done to the Almighty?
