commaunds vs to doe. The second, when we commit that euill which he forbids vs to doe. The first proceedeth from thence, for that wee are vnfitt for good things, the latter from this ground, because we are prone to all euill.
2 In respect also of the obiect, some sinne is said to be com∣mitted against God, some against our neighbour.
3 In respect of the law, some sinne is dead, some liuing. The dead sinne: is, which though it be in vs, yet is not acknowled∣ged for sinne, neyther doth it so rage as it vseth after the know∣ledge of the lawe.a 1.2 The liuing sinne is that which is acknow∣ledged to be such, and outrageth in vs after the knowledge of the law.
4 In respect of the inward beginning or originall of sinne, some sinne is of infirmitie, which through our weaknesse stealeth vpon vs against our wils and conceits, as sodaine anger, vaine thoughts, desire of things vnlawfull. Another sinne is of ignorance, of which it is spoken, Psal. 19.13. Leuit. 5.27. And Christ sayeth. Luc. 23.34. Father forgiue them, for they know not what they doe. Another sinne is of Malice, which is of two sortes, one directly opposing grace, is blasphemie against the holy Ghost, (of which we will speake in proper place,) the other not directly resisting grace and the holy Ghost, such are the particular fals against the precepts of the ten commaundements, as Idolatry, adultery, &c. In respect of the complement of Christs redemption, those sinnes are called past, which were done in all that time before he suffe∣red, and present committed since, the manifestation of the Gospell, by which through the bloud of Christ, free pardon of all sinnes both past and present is offered to mankind. Rom. 3.24.
