Error in using 'cumtrapz' for integration

Hello
I need to use 'cumtrapz' for a particular part of my project, but before that i am trying to understand how it works for multiple time cumulative integration. As a test, i was trying the following basic code:
ny = 101;
eta = linspace(-1,1,ny)';
f1 = sin(eta);
% Calculation of first cumulative integral
g1 = cumtrapz(eta,f1);
% Calculation of second cumulative integral
h1 = cumtrapz(eta,g1);
% Calculation of third cumulative intergal
k1 = cumtrapz(eta,h1);
We know that first integration of sinx is -cosx and then second intergration is -sinx.
So the value of g1 at each grid point must match {-cos(grid point) + cos(-1)}, Which it does.
But then the value of h1 at each grid point must match {-sin(grid point) + sin(-1)}, which it doesn't.
I was wondering why this happens.
