Medical References in Sermons 23

This is from Volume 6, Sermon 3 on Proverbs 28:13

But let it be remembered, that excuses for sin necessarily imply the love of sin, which is actually inconsistent with the love of God. The wound is not less dangerous because it is covered over or the disease less fatal because it is concealed. Neither is the evil of sin lessened, but aggravated, by the pains taken to extenuate it; for these are only so many proofs of impenitence and unbelief and have a disposition to pass persevere in an evil course.
