Chapter 21. Of sinnes that crie vnto Heauen

S HOw manie are they, & what bee the sinnes, which crie vnto Heauen?

M They are four, to wit, wilful murder: carnall sinnes against nature: oppression of the poore, and chiefly of orphans, and widowes: and to defraud workmen of their wages.

S Wherefore is it said, that they crie to Heauen?

M Because the iniustice of these sinnes is so maniefest, that it can not be couered or hidden by anie means.
