London and thou a whoremaster a swearer a drunkard a prophane person what at London and yet in thy natuall estate not one dram of Grace not one grain of godliness I tell thee it shall be easier for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of Judgment then for such a man as thou art tell me O sinner what thou hast to say for thy self O thou wilt be like that man at the Feast which had not on the wedding garment the Text saith He was speechless he had not one word to say for himself no more shalt thou O thy condition will be woful thy estate most miserable if thou lookest before thee the dreadful Judg is ready to pronounce the irrevocable sentence against thee if on the Judges right hand there the Saints are to joyn with Christ in thy Sentence if on his left hand there are a company of wicked wretches in the same condition with thy self if thou lookest behinde thee there is Hell and Satan ready to receive thee as soon as Judgment is given O then thou shalt be banished from the presence of the Lord and the glory of his power and that for ever Remember these things all you that forget God lest he tear you in pieces and there be none to deliver you O what do you think of a soul in this estate that is thus cast eternally into the sea of the wrath of God every man will say this is a lost soul indeed it s undone for ever Now what aggravations of misery will be multiplied upon thy soul by these subsequent considerations First for a soul to think with himself and know and say O I am undone I am undone O I am now in a worse condition then any creature that ever God made for God did never create any creature so miserable as man makes himself to be he having plunged himself into it by sin O now thy body is made miserable as well as thy soul for the body was that instrument by which the soul acted so much to Gods dishonor O did God curse the Serpent for being the devils instrument so will God curse thy body as thy soul is cursed to all eternity Secondly Thy torments shall be such as no tongue can express If the wrath of God against Christ onely when sin was but imputed was so heavy that it made him to sweat clods of blood 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as the Original word signifies what dost thou think will be the wrath of God to thee who hast acted sin and that all thy life time who hast done nothing else but sinned and thrown dirt in the very face of a pure God giving God the lye by thine unbelief O if the Saints did apprehend the displeasure of God to be so terrible as Job when he complained that the poyson of Gods arrows did drink up his spirits Job 6.4 Psal 38.2 and David that his arrows did stick fast in him so that there was no soundness in his flesh nor rest in his bones O what will thy complaint be thou undone soul None shall pity thee in this condition which makes it the more comfortless it s some ease to a man in misery to have some to pity and condole with him in his affliction sympathy in affliction is as a cordial to a fainting spirit it recreates the wearied soul and intermits the fits of its distresses but here is no fellow-feeling no recreation no intermission which addeth weight to weight to the utter depression of thy soul into restless torments God himself he shall laugh at thee for he saith That he will laugh at their destruction Pro. 2.24 and mock when their fear cometh upon them Angels and Saints they shal not regard thee the father shal not pity the son nor the son the father the husband the wife nor the wife the husband nor the mother him that drew her breast all relations shall be forgotten and all pitty banished The misery will prove an unexpected misery and so the sadder what greater pricking to the heart then for a man to miss of his end and to be frustrated of his hopes it may be thou thoughtest thou wert going to heaven and now thou art dropt into hell thou expectedst mercy and reapest fury thou expectedst reward and gatherest revenge this is the condition of most men in the world they would take it as a mighty injury and disgrace unto them if you do but question them of their latter end and if they were certain of the place whither they should go if a man should deal plainly with them and tell them they were going to hell and condemnation O they would be ready to fly in such a mans face and brand him for a censorious person and an uncharitable man so that men in this condition lose their expectation and so become out of measure miserable When a man shall consider with himself in this woful condition that he hath not only damned his soul for the world profits pleasures or profaness but also that now he is deprived of these too for which he brought this estate upon himself what to have a soul to perish for nothing not to enjoy these things for which it hath paid so dear a price to pay for profits and pleasures and not to possess them to carry them to the Lands end and then to leave them behinde O what flouds of tears what ejulations what inexpressible mournings would this cause in a poor soul O poor soul know that there is a greater loss then all these for now thou being in hell thou hast lost God Christ the company of Saints and Angels for ever now thou hast nothing in lieu for this great and infinite loss if any 't is onely this thou hast exchanged pleasures for pain happiness for misery life for death thou hast sold thy God Christ heaven and glory and hast purchased Satan hell and confusion O this is a most dreadful aggravation this is a loss unvaluable If it be the highest happiness of man in heaven and the glory of the Angels to behold the presence of the Lord and to partake of the beams of his glory O then it must needs be the depth of all misery to be deprived of such excellency and glory by being banished from the presence of the Lord 2. Sam. 14.32 Absolon thought if worse then death to be kept from the presence of his Father when he had killed his brother Ammon you know it s said Matt. 5.8 Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God O then cursed are the defiled and wicked in heart for they shall not see him For without holiness no man shall see God saith the Apostle but there is no holiness in hell therefore none in hell shall see the Lord. Lastly That as thy torments are unexpressible so they are endless when a man hath suftred ten thousand years in hell under the stroke of divine Justice then is he as far from deliverance as at
