11. If Christ will condemn men for sins of Omission at the Great Day, what will become of them that are guilty of gross Crimes, and who live in sins of ⟨p. 195⟩Commission?

If they be sent to Hell, who visit not the sick and imprisoned; how doleful will their Judgment be who wound the Servants of Christ, and cast them into Prison.
