3. Sin is an injury to God. For 1. It1 violates his Laws; here is crimen laesae majestatis. What greater injury can be ⟨p. 152⟩offered to a Prince, than to trample upon his royal edicts?

2. Sin robs God of his due. You injure a man when you do not give him his due. The soul belongs to God, he lays a double claim to it; it is his by creation and purchase: now sin steals the soul from God, and gives the Devil that which of right belongs to God.
