actuall sinne that is a fruit of the same nature and qualitie How is it deuided Into two parts 1. As it is considered in it selfe without anie relation for of the sinnes produced and arising from Originall sinne some are onely inward namely doubtings of God the inflaming and kindling of euill affections euill thoughtes wicked wils whether those willes be informes without forme or full and resolute as the Schoole-men speake Other are externall which shew and manifest themselues by their outward workes and vse in their committing some outward helpe and seruice of the bodie 2 As it is considered before or after the Doctrine of the Gospell was deliuered concerning Christ Iustification and Regeneration Of how many kindes is sinne considered in it selfe before or without the doctrine of Christ Of two kindes Of omission and Commission a Iacob 4.17 The first is when wee doe not euill but omit that good which God 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 committed 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 acknowledged for sinne neyther doth it so rage as it vseth after the knowledge of the lawe a Rom. 7.9 The liuing sinne is that which is acknowledged 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 suffered 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 How is sinne deuided being considered after the Doctrine deliuered by Christ Three waies The first wherby one sinne is called the sinne which reigneth or the sin which sinneth another kind of sin which reigneth not or sinneth not The sin reigning is when a man not regenerate serueth as it were looseth the bridle to sinne and with whole hart and determinate purpose is caried and rusheth forward to sinne This also is called voluntarie because it is done of set purpose and entent wittingly with the whole will and against the conscience to which sinne he is said to liue whosoeuer is in the flesh and is said also to be dead in his sinnes b Eph. 2.5 Col. 2.13 who is entangled more in his sinnes is drowned and dead in them The Sinne which raigneth n●t is when a man regenerate being drawne backe and reclaymed by Gods spirit is not caried with all his force to sinne and it is called Inuoluntarium that which is not with the will because the godly doe wrestle against it Rom. 7.19 That euill which I would not that I doe To which also they d Rom. 6.2 are said to be dead in which the vigor and power of sinne which by a borrowed speech is called the life of sinne is extinguished by the power of Christ with whom they are vnited and incoporated by faith and contrarily they are said to liue to God or to righteousnes or to Christ who labour to attaine innocency and righteousnes e Rom. 6.10.11 1. pet 2 24. Whence is their diuision taken From the Epistle to the Romans 6.12 Let not sinne raigne in your mortall bodie that you should obey sinne in the lusts of the bodie AndVerse 14. Let not sinne raigne ouer you for you are not vnder the law but vnder grace and out of 1. Iohn 3 6. Whosoeuer remaineth in him sinneth not Whosoeuer sinneth hath not seene him nor knowen him and vers 9. Whosoeuer is borne of God committeth not sinne because his seed remaineth in him And yet notwithstanding in the same Epistle cap. 1.8 If we say that we haue no sinne we deceiue our selues and the truth is not in vs. VVhat is the second diuision Sinne eyther Mortall or Veniall VVhat doe the Papists say eyther of these to be They say that Mortall sinne is the works of the flesh reigning But Veniall sinne say they is the concupiscence or desire of the flesh which doth not long tarie in the heart And therefore they scarce acknowledge originall sinne to be a sinne which they will haue to be washed away with light sprinkling of water ex opere operato as they say by the worke wrought Is this diuision to be receiued Not simply 1. Because euerie sinne whether great or little maketh a man guiltie of eternall death a Rom. 5.14 6.13 2 Because Concupiscence it selfe is by the nature thereof a sinne for it is against the law of God Thou shalt not couet Exod. 20 17. And Gen. 6.5 8.21 Euerie thought of mans heart from his childhood is onely euill 3 Because Iames. 2.10 saith Whosoeuer shall keepe all the law and shall offend in one is become guiltie of all Namely because though he hath not broken totum legis the whole entire law in euerie part yet he hath broken totam legem the whole lawe and the effect thereof by violating the Maiestie of the Lawgiuer 4 This is also manifest both by the consideration of the nature of God and also of the nature of sinne for no man can violate the infinite Maiesty of God venially but he shall be guiltie of infinite punishment and that infinite puritie of God cannot endure so much as the least spot or stayne in a sinner Therefore he is deceiued who thinketh there is any sinne before God Which draweth not with it the weight of his eternall anger Are therefore all sinnes equall Thus farre they are equall that euen the least thought of the least sinne doth a thousand times deserue eternall death according to that saying Gal. 3.10 Cursed is euerie one that abideth not in all things which are written in the booke of the law that he may doe them And Rom. 6.23 The wages of sinne is death Yet notwithstanding in comparison of one with another some sinnes are more grieuous then other as they goe astray more
