(1.) Internal; Gifts and Graces languish for want of Employment, 1 Thes. 5.19. Quench not the Spirit: Thomas his Omission made way for his Unbelief, Joh. 20.24.

(2.) External; it bringeth on many Temporal Judgments: God put by Saul from being King for an Omission, 1 Sam. 15.11. It repenteth me for setting up Saul to be King, for he hath not done the thing that I commanded him: forbearing to destroy all of Amalek: For this he put by Eli's house from the Priesthood, 1 Sam. 3.13. I will Judge his house for ever, because his Sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not: Eli's Omission is punished as well as his Sons Commission, yet 'twas not a total Omission: compare 1 Sam. 2.23, 24, 25. And he said unto them, why do ye such things? for I hear of your evil dealings by all this People; nay my Sons, for it is no good report that I hear of you, ye make the Lords People to transgress: If one man sin against another, the Judge shall judge him; but if a man sin against the Lord, who shall entreat for him? notwithstanding they hearkened not to the voice of their Father: His Admonition was grave and serious, yet 'twas not enough. All Israel knew their sin before; Eli took upon him to reprove them secretly, whereas the fact was open, and he should have put them to open shame; and then his Rebukes were mild and soft, he should have frowned upon them, punished them, but his fondness would not permit that.
