6Sproul, Holiness of God, 206 (emphasis his). See also the Westminster Larger Catechism, Q/A 150, which explains that, “All transgressions of the law of God are not equally heinous; but some sins in themselves, and by reason of several aggravations, are more heinous in the sight of God than others.” The next question and answer details what those “aggravations” are.

7See, for example, John Flavel’s A Blow at the Root of Antinomianism (1691). Flavel lists ten errors made by the anti-law men of his day. They include: “That God sees no sin in believers, whatsoever sins they commit” (Error 5); “That God is not angry with the elect, nor doth he smite them for their sins” (Error 6); and “That believers need not fear either their own sins, or the sins of others” (Error 8).
