Secondly, To sin against many received mercies, greatens it exceedingly; Thus the Lord aggravates the sin of David, I have done thus, and thus, for thee, and if this had been to little, I would moreover have given thee such and such things; Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord to do evil in his sight, 2 Sam. 12.8, 9.

Thirdly, It greatens sin when continued in after warnings, and renewed admonitions; He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy, (Prov. 29.1.) The Greatness of his punishment, (he shall be (not afflicted, but) destroyed) the quickness of it (he shall suddenly be destroyed) the irrecoverableness of it (and that without remedy) all these with one consent vote the greatness of that sin, whatsoever it be in its kind, which is persisted in after persuasion to desist and depart from it. The Church is commanded to pass her extremest censure upon ⟨p. 39⟩that offending brother, who having been told his fault; first, by that brother alone whom he hath offended; secondly, by him and two more associated as witnesses; thirdly, then, by the Church gathered in the name of Christ. (Matth. 18.16, 17.) But if be will not hear thee, then take one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses, every word may be established: and if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it to the Church: but if he neglect to hear the Church, let him be unto thee as a heathen man and a publican. It is dangerous enough to sin against a rule, but tis more dangerous to sin against a reproof; especially against the reproof of a whole Church.
