Secondly, These sins of omission are either partial or total.
Total omissions are, when men wholly neglect the Duties commanded, as when ⟨p. 133⟩they altogether cast off Praying, and Hearing, and giving Alms, and examining their own hearts; Psal. 14.3, 4. They are all gone aside, there is none that doth good: They call not upon God. A man may read the Word Atheist in the fore-heads of these men. They carry about them where-ever they go the sign and mark of Condemnation. They please themselves possibly that they do not abound in scandalous sins of Commission, not considering that they may be guilty of self-murder, as well by starving or not feeding their Souls, as by stabbing or poisoning their Souls.
