otherwise They say they shall sollace themselves with love and take their fill of love But in these words you see what God appoints them too not to a bed deckt with coverings of tapistry with carved works with fine Linnen of Egypt perfumed with myrrh aloes and cinnamon but to a lake burning with fire and brimstone a righteous allotment from God to all them that burn in their filthy lusts here In these words by an elegant Antithesis we have represented to us the differing frame of the wicked from the godly and the differing portion of these from the godly the Godly in the foregoing verse are described from their constancy and perseverance in opposing whatever was contrary to the holy nature or holy Law of God and happiness in its full complement or perfection is promised them of God The Ungodly spoken of in these words are such as are for pre●ent ease and endless sorrow and pain are threatned to them In which words we have as it were a Catalogue of those that are appointed to Wrath or a very severe Commination or Threatning c. With the Subjects thereof 1. The Commination or Threatning shall have their part c. an absolute peremptory threatning shall have not that its probable or who can tell but it may be so they are in danger its very much to be feared it will be ●o but they shall have their part Part share or portion so much as hath been demerited by their sins and is appointed them of God who will give to every man according to the fruit of his doings Lake figuratively put for the place of Tor●ent Hell wherein the reprobate shall be ●ormented Burns with fire and brimstone denoting the ●xtream torments of Hell when 't is said they ●hall have their part c. 't is as much as though ●t had been said they shall be adjudged to a most grievous Damnation by an irreversible Sentence Second Death Eternal Death c. Damnation of Soul and Body in Hell concludes under it the separation of the whole man Soul and Body from the glorious presence of God and the delivering of the Sinner to endless pain and torment in Hell 2. The Subjects of this doleful Commination Fearful Such as through fear of man swerve from the holy profession and practice of Godliness comprehending all those who are afraid from the encouragements of the Gospel to commit their Souls to Christ who dare not on Gospel Encouragements believe on Christ. Unbelieving all that remain in a Christless and Impenitent State on whatever consideration whether from sloth love of sinful pleasures or contempt of Christ and his Glorious Grace Abominable Those that are left to sin against nature and such as are guilty of Sodomy and Bea●tiality Murderers Those that unjustly take away the life of others or do that which hath a tendency thereto those that offer violence to the blood and life of others Whoremongers Unclean persons whether married who are termed Adulterers or unmarried who are called Fornicators Sorcerers Witches those that have familiar amity with Evil Spirits Idolaters Idol worshippers that use Idols in Religious Worship Such also are all that put the Creature in the room and stead of God All Lyars Such as are deceitful and dissembling who speak otherwise then they think and do otherwise then they speak such as accustom themselves to speak falsly comprehend those that fall into Heresie and all practical Lyars as Hypocrites who profess that they know God yet in works deny him any dying under the guilt of these sins are the Subjects of this Commination Any living under the single guilt of any one of these heads of sin are at present under a Sentence of Death and nothing but un●eigned repentance towards God and faith in Jesus Christ can prevent their being the Subjects of this threatning eternally DOCTRINE Murder and Uncleanness are sins that God punisheth men and women dying under the guilt of with Eternal Damnation Or thus That Impenitent Murderers and Unclean persons will ●e made the Subjects of Hell Torments Hell Torments will be the portion of all Impenitent and Unclean Persons I have singled out these two rather then the rest because God in his Providence calls me to ●ear testimony against these and to warn one in a peculiar manner convicted of both these and under a just Sentence of Death speedily to repent and get a pardon in the blood of Christ. Uncleanness and Murder are Sins that God punisheth not only in this life but in the world to come when the natural life of these shall be expired and that by Divine Appointment worse sorrows then ever they endured here shall seiz● upon and apprehend them the sufferings of wrath here and loss of li●e by divine vengeance will not expiate guil●iness but divine wrath will pursue and abide on the guilty in the other world One Death will lead to another the First Death makes way for the Second God don't punish the Guilty only with Damnation but Everlasting Damnation Sinners dying under the guilt of these sins shall not only be Damned but everlastingly Damned Quest. How doth it appear that God will punish them that dye under the guilt of these sins with Everlasting Damnation 1. From Scripture Threatnings and Comminations God is not a man that he should lye n●ither the Son of man that he should repent hath he said and shall he not do i● Or hath he spoken and shall he not make it good God that said of old that he would Chastize as their Congregation had heard God who is truth and cannot l●e who after he had threatned his imp●nitent people in ancient times for their Apos●acy warned them against flattering themselves with hopes of impunity by saying the Lord have spoken it this God hath in his Word threatned thus to deal with Unclean Sinners commanded them not to deceive themselves with hopes of a less punishment 1 Cor. 6.9 10. Gal. 5.6 these Exclusions from the Kingdom of Heaven comprehend in them positive punishments even the punishment of Eternal Damnation If Sinners hearing the curses and threatnings of Gods Word embolden themselves with promising themselves happiness they will find themselves in the issue separated to all evil Deut. 29.19 20. For heaven and earth shall sooner pass away than one jot or tittle of Gods word fail of its accomplishment 2. Because these are Transgressers of the Holy Law of God and Damnation is due to them on this account Rom. 6.23 Rom. 1.13 Every Sin is a transgression of the Holy Law of God it s therefore a meet and a reasonable thing that they should have their due Hell and Damnation are as really due to them and deserved by them in this their last end as ever wages were to a man at the end of his days work God is neglected slighted his holy Law trampled upon for a little present carnal satisfaction so that the Justice of God is concerned thus to deal with them 3.
