The scale',

Back to John Flavel's "The Method of Grace"

---

What is guilt, but the obligation of the soul to 
everlasting punishment and misery? It puts the 
soul under the sentence of God to eternal wrath
—the condemning sentence of the great and 
awesome God! Nothing is more dreadful and 
insupportable than this! Put all pains, all poverty,
all afflictions, all miseries in one scale—and God’s 
wrath in the other; and you weigh but so many 
feathers against a ton of lead.
