against_o the_o great_a be_v the_o sin_n now_o there_o be_v more_o mercy_n in_o a_o covenant_n then_o in_o a_o bare_a commandment_n the_o commandment_n tell_v we_o our_o duty_n but_o give_v no_o power_n to_o do_v it_o but_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n give_v power_n to_o do_v what_o it_o require_v to_o be_v do_v and_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v a_o hell-procuring_a sin_n to_o break_v the_o least_o of_o god_n commandment_n much_o more_o to_o be_v a_o covenant-breaker_n heb._n 10._o 28_o 29._o second_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n than_o to_o sin_n against_o a_o promise_n of_o god_n because_o a_o covenant_n be_v a_o promise_n join_v with_o a_o oath_n it_o be_v a_o mutual_a stipulation_n between_o god_n and_o we_o and_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n to_o break_v promise_n much_o more_o to_o break_v covenant_n three_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n than_o to_o sin_n against_o a_o ordinance_n because_o the_o covenant_n be_v the_o root_n and_o ground_n of_o all_o the_o ordinance_n it_o be_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o covenant_n that_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o ordinance_n the_o word_n be_v the_o book_n of_o the_o covenant_n and_o the_o sacrament_n

be_v one_o without_o hope_n all_o hope_n of_o heaven_n be_v cut_v off_o where_o the_o covenant_n be_v willing_o break_v to_o break_v covenant_n be_v a_o universal_a sin_n it_o include_v all_o other_o

the_o first_o argument_n be_v if_o the_o lord_n will_v avenge_v the_o quarrel_n of_o his_o commandment_n if_o god_n be_v avenge_v upon_o the_o stick-gatherer_n for_o break_v the_o sabbath_n much_o
