HATRED OF SIN All men seem 10 be
IA some measure sensible of the odious
nature and evil dement, Of sin; but the
misery is, that il is chiefly OF the sins of
others, and especially Of the sins of others
against themselves. lfmen hated sin as
much 10 themselves as they do in others.
humility would be more common vir-
tue. Ii ii were duly reflected Oh, Il would
bring us to.a just sense of tie nature and
dement, OF sin, TO observe, that shey who
| hug and caFess it most In themselves. can
not help abhorrino it 10 others. Al man
will hate the image Of his own sin when
he sees ii in his friend, orthe child Of his
bosom. What is most unaccountabIe in
this matter is, that men should be so
shametully partial and unequal ia their
way OF Judging about it, When the ques-
ton Is about mans own sin, his heart
devlses a thousand articles to excuse or
eXtcnnate it, which articles are ohentimes
as applicable to all sin, in general, asto
his own sin. But when a man is under
the influence Of passion agains. the sins
otothers, 1t quite alters the case. He finds
no end IN exaggeraiing the gull of an in
Jury or affront, and his passion will find
means TO make pretended EXCUSES appear
heavy aggavaGions The common OK
cuses OF human fraiIly-strength of tempt
alton, and The lilse-wiil appear 10 him
too refined and metaphysical TO have any
etfectual influence for moderating his pas
sion. The vehemence of such passions
jagainst sin would do very little prejudice
10 charity, if these passions were as equal
and impartial when directed homewards
as they are vehement against Others. III
men could as thoroughly and sincerely
hate themselves as they do their neigh
bcrs, it would be a good help towards
loving their neighbors as themselves
