Puritan Wisdom

Answering the question "What is sin?" with I Peter 1:18-19 --

"What is this but to make light account of Christs blood? A treading under foot? An accounting of it an unholy thing? A despising of the Spirit of grace? Yes, if even Gods Children did so weigh this unspeakable as they should be the more afraid to offend than there are: This also should awaken those that know no part in their Reception, that they have the greatest matter in the world to seek. Such should never be quiet, till they find themselves discharged. So without this, there's no such thing but eternal destruction, they shall have to bear their own burthen."

– John Rogers, 128.
