Do not that abominable thing which I hate. God doth not put an aggravation upon this sin, beyond what is in it; as it is usual with men, they, if any thing be done against them, make it very horrible with circumstances and aggravations, but God never doth so: a notable example we have of mans aggravating an offence.
