SECT. V.
Doct. 5 That our special Relations to God should be special Reasons to work a care not to sin against God. [Keep thy servant 1from, &c.] Thy servant: there be many reasons against sinning: the very nature of sin carries along with it a condemnation of sinning, because sin formerly is a transgression, an Anomy, and a Rebellion, which alone is an inglorious thing: Again, The Laws and threatenings of God should be as forcible cords to draw off the heart from sin: And again, All the Mercies and goodness of God should exasperate the heart against sin.
