A second Aggravation of this sin, ariseth from the Mattor of the Covenant.
Covenants betwixt man and man, are in things appertaining to man; The Covenant betwixt God and man, is in things appertaining unto God; which as it doth exceedingly heighten the duty, so it doth highly aggravate the violation. It was the honour of the Priests under the Law, above other men, That they were ordained for men in things appertaining unto God, Heb. 5.2. And it was the honour of Christ above all other Priests, that his Priesthood was employed about matters of an higher nature, then the Priesthood of the sons of Aaron.
