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

3. I answer, suppose Sins of Omission were little, yet it is folly and madness upon this to allow of them. A mote in the eye is a little thing, it hindereth our sight of the Sun, and is big enough to put us to great pain, and to disturb our whole Body. The Flies and Lice of Egypt were little Creatures, but great Plagues. The sting of a Bee is a little thing, but it puts us to grievous torment. He who refused to give a few crumbs, was denied one drop, Luke 16.21. A fly spoils an Alabaster Box of Ointment; a little poison spoils much wholesome Liquor.

The Authority of God is as truly despised in the breach of the least Commandments, as some are called, as in the breach of the greatest, as others are called, Matth. 22.36, 37. A sprig of Wormwood hath the same bitterness with the Plant. A drop of Sea-water hath the same saltness with the Ocean. The smallest Sin is a breach of the Royal Law as well as the greatest,
