Min. Are you further sensible, that you have lived, a very ungodly Life? That you are guilty of thousands of Actual Sins, every one of which deserves the Wrath and Curse of God, both in this Life, and that which is to come?
H▪ S. I am sensible of this also.
Min. But are you sensible, That you have broken all the Laws of God? You know the Commandments. Are you sensible, That you have broken every one of Them.
H. S. I cannot well answer to that. My Answer may be liable to some Exceptions. — This I own, I have broken every Commandment on the Account mentioned by the Apostle James; That he who breaks one is Guilty of all. But not otherwise.
