Now therefore the Church and people of God, having this three-fold advantage to a more clear and full discovery of God, and his will, of sin and his hatred thereof, then all the world besides; Israels sin hath hereby an aggravation upon it, of which theirs is uncapable, an aggravation of light. If ye were blind ye should have no sin, 1no sin Comparative: but now ye say, we see: therefore your sin remaineth, i.e. it remaineth inexcusable, it remains aggravated. And this is the first aggravation.
