Till sin be removed, there is no coming where God is. See the evil of sin, in the price paid for it. The evil of sin is not so much seen in that one thousand are damned for it, as that Christ died for it. Sin is evil in its effects. Whatever defiles, disturbs.
Sin makes sad convulsions in the conscience.
Judas was so terrified with guilt and horror, that he hanged himself to quiet his conscience. It is the Trojan horse, that has sword and famine, and pestilence, in its belly. Sin is a coal, that not only blacks, but burns. Sin rots the name, consumes the estate, buries relations. Sin is a dish men cannot forbear, though it makes them sick.
