Use 1. Is God so infinitely Holy, then see how unlike to God Sin is: Sin is an unclean thing, it is [Greek or Hebrew], Hyperbolically Evil, Rom. 1.13. it is called [Greek or Hebrew], an Abomination, Deut. 7.25. God hath no mixture of Evil in him, Sin hath no mixture of Good; it is the Spirits and Quintessence of Evil; it turns Good into Evil; it hath deflowered the Virgin-Soul, made it red with Guilt, and black with Filth: it is called the accursed thing, Jos. 7.11.
