There is a command: he that hath commanded, Thou shalt not murder, Thou shalt not steal: he lays a charge on thee that thou believe, 1 John 3. This is his command, that we believe in the Son of God. And think with thy self, thou committest a sin against the Gospel, which is worse then a sin against the law: for if a man sin against the law, he may have help in the Gospel: but if he sin against the Gospel, there is not another Gospel to help him. God offers thee comfort, the commands thee to trust in him, and thou rebellest, thou offendest him, if thou do not believe.
