5. Disobedience is a sin against our Prayers. We pray, Thy will be done: So that by Non-obedience we confute our selves, and live in a contradiction to our own prayers. That man who is self-confuted, is self-condemned.
6. Disobedience is a sin against Kindness. 'Tis a disingenuous sin: it is a kicking against Gods bowels, a despising the riches of his goodness, Rom. 2.4. Therefore the Apostle links these two sins together, 2 Tim. 3.2. [Greek or Hebrew] Disobedient, Unthankful: and this dies a sin of a Crimson colour. One calls ingratitude, The Seminary of sin*. It is an epitomizing sin. Brutus his unkindness went deeper to Caesars heart, than the stab. — Ingratus hoc unum benefacit cum perit. —.
