The great danger in commission of little Sins. [ 1315]

WHat is lesser then a grain of ••and; yet when it comes to be multiplyed,* 1.1 What is heavier then the Sands of the Sea? A little sum multiplyed riseth high: So a little Sin unrepented of will damn us, as one leak in the Ship, if it be not well lookt to, will drown us: Little Sins, as the World calls them, but great Sins against the Majesty of God Almighty, who doth accent and inhance them, if not repented of; One would think it no great matter to forget God, yet it hath an heavy doom attending on it,* 1.2 Psal. 50. 22. The non-improvement of Talents, the non-exercising of Graces, the World looks upon as a small thing; yet we read of him, that hid his Talent in the earth, Matth. 25. 25. he had not spent it, onely not trading it, is sen••enced; such and so great is the danger of the least Sin whatsoever.
