2. The greatness of their transgression,1 which appeareth by these trespasses that they committed in that action of disobedience. 1. They doubted of Gods word. 2. They being bewitched with the Devils promises, cease to fear Gods punishment, and thus become puffed up with presumption, and inflamed with the desire of greater Dignity, and will no longer believe Gods threatenings. 3. They forsake Gods word, and seek after other wisdom. 4. They are proud, and seek to magnify themselves, and to become like God. 5. They contemn ⟨p. 28⟩God, and against their own consciences sin against his Commandment. 6. They preferred the Devil before God. 7. They are unthankful, and drive out the holy Spirit of God from dwelling in them, and thus despised that everlasting blessed Union. 8. They murdered both themselves and their progeny.
