Quest. 1. Whether the external Work of sin joined with the internal do increase the evil of it?
QUest. 1. Whether the externall Work of sin joyned with the internall doe increase the evill of it?
1. Ans. 1. If one have an effectual will of sinning, viz. be so affected in regard of his will towards sin, that nothing hinders him from the eternal Work, but only that the occasion is wanting, such a man before God is accounted as great a sinner, as if he had performed the outward action; this appears by the contrary acts of obedience. 2 Cor. 8. 12.
