Fourthly, When we sin in the sight of judgements upon our selves, or others, whether for the same, or other sins: This is as if a thief should steal before the Judge, or under the gibbet, while he seeth others arraigned or executed for stealing. It is very evil to sin against judgements threatened, but it is far worse to sin against Judgements executed. That wrath which is revealed from heaven against all unrighteousness to the ear in the word of God, should stop us from sin, much more that which is revealed to the eye in the works of God.
Fourthly, When we sinne in the sight of judgements upon our selves, or others, whether for the same, or other sinnes: This is as if a theife should steale before the Judge, or under the gibbet, while he seeth others arraigned or executed for stealing. It is very evill to sin against judgements threatned, but it is far worse to sin against Judgements executed. That wrath which is revealed from heaven against all unrighteousnesse to the eare in the word of God, should stop us from sin, much more that which is revealed to the eye in the workes of God.
Fifthly, When we sin against our own promises not to sin, when our own words condemn us, as well as the word of God, this stains every sin with a double guilt.
Fiftly, When we sinne against our owne promises not to sinne, when our owne words condemne us, as well as the word of God, this staynes every sinne with a double guilt.
Sixthly, The greatening of a sin is from the repeating of it after it hath been repented of. To fall into any sin out of which we have risen, makes our fall the more grievous; when a sinner licks up his own vomit, when he builds again the things which he had destroyed, he makes himself a transgressor indeed. They who repent not cannot expect mercy, what remains then for them but a certain fearful expectation of Judgement, who repent of their repentings?
