To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It discovers not sin as the greatest evil in the world, neither did ever nature hate sin as such; because nature is not endowed with any spiritual affections, by its natural descent. It never had a due sense either of the authority or holiness of the law- giver, nor ever considered sin as a contempt of the sovereignty and purity of the law-giver and his law, wherein indeed the intrinsic evil of sin consists, James 2. 10, 11. Nature did excite some fears upon the guilt of sin, but no grief for t...he tilth of sin. Men by nature respect sin as it stands in relation to the justice and omniscience of God, as it is the object of his sight and knowledge, and the object of his revenging justice and wrath, but not as it stands in contrariety to the purity of God. As it is an afflic- tive evil they may regard it, but not as it is a polluting evil ; as staining their reputation, not as defiling their souls. Nature gives us but a little prospect of the beauty of God's holiness, whereby we must measure the heinousness, malignity and odiousness of sin.
