The sinners last sentence to eternal punishment, for sins of omission

To cure this, Reader, consider these three or four particulars.

1. I grant, that there are degrees of Sin: All sins are not of the same size, nor every Sinner of the same stature. All ordinary Births which Satan begets upon the hearts of men are not of the same bigness; yet sometimes we find Monsters born. Some sins are compared to Camels, others to Gnats, Matth. 23.24. Some to Motes, others to Beams, Matth. 7.3. Some to Talents, others to Farthings or Pence. Our Saviour tells us of a Creditor who had two Debtors, the one owed much more than the other, Luke 7.41. So Luke 16.5. Some sins are pardonable, other sins unpardonable, Matth. 12.31. Wherefore I say unto you, all manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men, but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be ⟨p. 413⟩forgiven unto men. The Stoics (as Tully observes in his Paradoxes, and the Jovinians, ¹as St. Hierom testifieth in his Second Book against them, sided with them,) held, That all sins were equal, because all sins are aberrations from the rule, and a going beyond the bounds; but it is to be considered that some may wander farther from their rule, and out of their way than others. Some may shoot wider than others, though both miss the mark.
