Excerpt from The Duty of Giving an Immediate Diligence to the Business of the Christian Life: Being, an Address to the Inhabitants of the Parish of Kilmany Adding one peculiarity after another, the variety' may be so lengthened out as to make the attempt impossible: Lying, and stealing, and breakmg the Sabbath, and speaking evil one of another, these are all so many sinful actions; but Circumstances may be conceived which make one kind of lying different from another, and one kind of theft differ ent from another, and one kind of evil speaking dif ferent from another, and in this way the nu mber of sinful actions may be greatly swelled out; and should we attempt to take the amount, they may be like the host which no man could number, and every sinner realizing one of these varieties, may wear his own peculiar complexion, and have a something about him which marks him out, and Slgnalizes him from all the other sinners by whom he is surrounded.
