3. 3The Witnesses, and their Evidence against Sin, as being exceeding sinful.
- 3The witnesses against sin.
That sin is so exceeding sinful, extremely and notorious guilty of contrariety to God, and the good of man, I have a cloud of witnesses to produce; God himself, Angels and men, both good and bad, the Law and Gospel, the whole Creation, sins names, and sins actions, even sins own confession, do all bear witness to this Charge, that it is true, viz. that sin is an exceeding sinful thing; from heaven, from earth, from hell will we bring witnesses against sin.
