Sin hath a kind of Infiniteness in it: Opened in Seven Particulars. First, Because nothing but an Infinite Power can overcome it. Secondly, Sin hath a kind of infiniteness, because it hath an infinite desert in it, ex∣pressed in Three Particulars: 1 The desert of the loss of an infinite Good. 2 It deserves to put an infinite distance between God and thee. 3 It deserves infinite misery. Thirdly, Sin hath a kind of infinite Evil, because there is required an infinite Price to make an Attonement between God and Man. Fourthly, There is a kind of infinite Evil in Sin, because we must hate it infinitely. Fifthly, Sin is an infinite Evil, because it is the Ʋniversal Cause of all Evil. Sixthly, The Scripture make use of Evil things, to set out the Evil of Sin. Seventhly, There's an infiniteness in Sin, be∣cause the Scripture set out Sin, by Sin it self.
