A second volume of sermons preached by the late reverend and learned Thomas Manton…

2. Grace produceth an hatred of sin as sin, out of a principle of Love to God, and as it is contrary to his Law, and the new nature planted in us. Ye that love the Lord, hate evil; and he that is born of God, sinneth not; that is the principle, because the Seed of God abideth in you. The School-men distinguish of two sorts and kinds of Hatred, Odium abominationis, and Odium inimicitiae; the first is defined by Aquinas to be Dissonantia quaedam appetitus ad id quod apprehenditur ut repugnans & noxium; an aversation of the Appetite to what is apprehended repugnant and contrary to us. Such an hatred there is in the regenerate, for they apprehend sin as repugnant, and contrary to their renewed Will; to the unregenerate 'tis agreeable and suitable, as Draff to the appetite of a Swine, or Grass and Hay to a Bullock and Horse. The other is an Hatred of Enmity, so called both for the ground of it, and the effect of it; the ground as an evil, that which is an Enemy and hurtful to us, as sin is to our Peace and Happiness Temporal, Spiritual and Eternal; but chiefly as to the effect of it, Hatred is a willing of evil and mischief to the thing or person hated. Both these Hatreds are in the Children of God: They hate sin, not only as it may bring Loss and Detriment, horror of Conscience and Damnation; but out of the pure Love of God, as 'tis contrary to his Image and Will, and they hate it with an hostile Hatred, so as to seek the destruction of it; Non cessat in laesione Peccati, sed in exterminio; it doth not scratch at the Face of sin, but is seeking to mortify and subdue it: and therefore are always Mourning, Praying, Watching, Striving, Famishing it by cutting off its Provisions, and denying its Satisfactions, and still following the work close, 'till we get the Mastery of it.
