Seventhly, Sin is greatly increased when acted with deliberation; to be hurried into a sin though great, is not so great as to do a less evil consultively, or to advise upon it and do it; some sin for want of advice, many sin against advice, and not a few sin with advice, that is, advisedly. Tis hard to find out a way to give them comfort, who sin with counsel. They who are wise to do evil, or who do evil as a piece of their wisdom (such every deliberate action is esteemed to ⟨p. 40⟩be) will be found the greatest fools. All sin is folly, but those sins have most of the fool in them, which we think, we do wisely. In all these cases, we may well say to any man, as Eliphaz here to Job; Is not thy wickedness great?
