1In this respect it is, that sins against the second Table grieve more then sins against the first; because here the conscience is more awaked. These be sins against a multiplied light, against the light of nature, light of the Word and Spirit: and such sins are contrary to humane society, they dissolve those bonds that nature, even by the common relics it hath left, studies to maintain. Though corrupt nature hath no good in it, for we deserved ⟨p. 39⟩to be like devils, yet God intending to have civill society, out of which he usually gathers his Church, preserveth in mans nature, an hatred of sins that overthrow society: such sins therefore being committed against more light, wound more: as in case of murder, notorious perjury, theft, &c.
