APPLICATION.
From hence we may infer, how great Evil there is in sin; O sin is the Plague of all Plagues! who can conceive how detestable 1a thing is sin in the sight of God, since He who is so gracious, merciful and compassionate a God, should throw millions of Men and Women in his Wrath into the lake that burns with fire and brimstone.
