First of all consider, That God hath shown as much displeasure against small and little sins, as against greater and grosser enormities: I will give you some instances.

First, Of the neglect of Moses to circumcise his son; one would think that for forbearing the circumcising of a child when a man was in a journey and had urgent business lying upon him, his business should have been a plea to excuse him: yet for the bare omission of that on ⟨p. 129⟩the eight day, the Lord met him, and would have killed him, Exod. 4.24. And it came to pass by the way in the Inn, that the Lord met him, and sought to kill him. Another time the Psalmist tells us of Moses sin in the wilderness, Moses spake unadvisedly with his lips, only a rash word; and what was the issue of that sin? the Lord would never suffer Moses to enter into the land of Canaan.
