2. Look upon sin in its nature, and it will appear very hateful. See how the Scripture hath pencilled it out. 1. Sin is a dishonouring of God, Rom. 2. 23.—2. Sin is a despising of God, 1 Sam. 2. 30.—3. It is a fretting of God, Ezek. 16. 43.—4. It is a wearying of God, Isa. 7. 13.—5. It is a breaking the heart of God, Ezek. 6. 9. I am broken with your whorish heart; as a loving husband is with the unchaste carriage of his wife.—6. Sin, when acted to the height, is a crucifying Christ afresh, and putting him to open shame, Heb. 6. 6. That is, impudent sinners pierce Christ in his Saints, and were he now upon earth, they would crucify him again in his person. Behold the odious nature of sin.
