justice_n of_o god_n array_v in_o all_o the_o terrible_a circumstance_n of_o it_o that_o if_o mercy_n can_v allure_v we_o justice_n at_o least_o may_v affright_v we_o from_o our_o sin_n and_o as_o those_o who_o be_v to_o travel_v through_o wilderness_n and_o desert_n carry_v fire_n with_o they_o to_o terrify_v wild_a and_o ravenous_a beast_n and_o to_o secure_v themselves_o from_o their_o assault_n so_o do_v the_o great_a god_n who_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o brutish_a man_n man_n more_o savage_a than_o wild_a beast_n he_o kindle_v a_o fire_n about_o he_o and_o appear_v to_o they_o all_o in_o flame_n and_o fury_n that_o so_o he_o may_v fright_v they_o from_o their_o bold_a attempt_n who_o otherwise_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o run_v upon_o his_o neck_n and_o upon_o the_o thick_a boss_n of_o his_o buckler_n 15.26_o job_n 15.26_o and_o therefore_o in_o the_o four_o precedent_a verse_n we_o find_v the_o apostle_n threaten_v most_o tremendous_a judgement_n against_o all_o that_o shall_v wilful_o transgress_v after_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n he_o tell_v we_o verse_n 26._o that_o there_o remain_v no_o more_o sacrifice_n for_o their_o sin_n nothing_o to_o expiate_v their_o gild_n but_o that_o they_o themselves_o must_v fall_v a_o burnt-sacrifice_n to_o the_o offend_a justice_n of_o god_n consume_v with_o that_o fiery_a indignation_n that_o shall_v certain_o seize_v and_o prey_v upon_o they_o for_o ever_o and_o in_o v._o 29._o heb._n 10.28_o 29._o 28_o 29._o he_o set_v forth_o the_o exceed_a dreadfulness_n of_o their_o judgement_n by_o a_o comparison_n between_o those_o that_o violate_a the_o law_n of_o moses_n and_o those_o that_o renounce_v and_o annul_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n he_o that_o despise_a moses_n be_v law_n who_o himself_o be_v but_o a_o servant_n and_o his_o law_n consist_v of_o inferior_a and_o less_o spiritual_a ordinance_n yet_o a_o despiser_n and_o transgressor_n of_o these_o be_v to_o die_v without_o mercy_n certain_o much_o sore_a judgement_n await_v those_o who_o reject_v the_o law_n of_o christ_n and_o trample_v he_o who_o be_v the_o son_n and_o lord_n of_o the_o house_n under_o foot_n account_v his_o blood_n unholy_a and_o profane_a renounce_v his_o merit_n and_o blaspheme_v the_o holy_a spirit_n by_o which_o our_o saviour_n act_v such_o as_o these_o say_v the_o apostle_n shall_v eternal_o perish_v with_o less_o mercy_n than_o those_o that_o die_v without_o mercy_n where_o by_o the_o way_n observe_v the_o strange_a emphasis_n that_o the_o apostle_n lay_v upon_o this_o dreadful_a commination_n he_o tell_v we_o they_o shall_v be_v sore_a punish_v than_o those_o that_o be_v punish_v without_o mercy_n to_o let_v we_o know_v that_o as_o there_o be_v transcendent_a glory_n such_o as_o eye_n have_v not_o see_v nor_o ear_n hear_v nor_o can_v it_o enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n to_o conceive_v reserve_v in_o the_o high_a heaven_n for_o those_o that_o love_n god_n so_o also_o be_v there_o woe_n and_o torment_n such_o as_o eye_n have_v not_o see_v ear_n hear_v nor_o can_v it_o enter_v into_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n to_o conceive_v how_o great_a and_o insupportable_a they_o be_v prepare_v in_o hell_n for_o those_o that_o hate_v he_o they_o shall_v die_v with_o less_o mercy_n than_o those_o that_o die_v without_o mercy_n now_o that_o we_o may_v not_o wonder_v at_o such_o a_o paradox_n as_o this_o the_o apostle_n give_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o in_o my_o text_n for_o we_o know_v he_o that_o have_v say_v vengeance_n belong_v unto_o i_o it_o be_v the_o vengeance_n of_o god_n and_o a_o fall_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o their_o punishment_n shall_v be_v beyond_o all_o extremity_n they_o fall_v under_o the_o power_n and_o wrath_n of_o a_o infinite_a god_n which_o when_o we_o have_v heap_v superlative_n upon_o superlative_n yet_o still_o we_o must_v express_v defective_o and_o all_o that_o we_o can_v conceive_v of_o it_o fall_v vast_o short_a of_o reach_v but_o a_o faint_a and_o languish_a resemblance_n thereof_o it_o be_v a_o state_n so_o full_a of_o perfect_a misery_n that_o misery_n itself_o be_v too_o easy_a a_o name_n to_o give_v it_o yea_o whatsoever_o we_o can_v speak_v most_o apposite_o of_o it_o be_v but_o diminish_v it_o for_o because_o it_o be_v the_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n of_o a_o infinite_a god_n it_o can_v no_o more_o be_v know_v by_o we_o than_o god_n himself_o plunge_v your_o thought_n as_o deep_a into_o it_o as_o you_o can_v yet_o still_o there_o remain_v a_o infinite_a abyss_n which_o you_o can_v never_o fathom_v and_o o_o that_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o wrath_n may_v cause_v we_o all_o to_o tremble_v before_o this_o great_a and_o terrible_a god_n that_o we_o may_v so_o fear_v it_o as_o never_o to_o feel_v it_o and_o be_v persuade_v to_o fall_v down_o at_o his_o foot_n that_o we_o may_v never_o fall_v into_o his_o hand_n and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v thus_o affect_v i_o have_v choose_v this_o text_n to_o set_v forth_o the_o greatness_n and_o dreadfulness_n of_o that_o wrath_n and_o vengeance_n which_o the_o righteous_a god_n will_v execute_v upon_o all_o stubborn_a and_o disobedient_a wretch_n a_o text_n that_o speak_v to_o we_o as_o god_n do_v to_o the_o israelite_n from_o mount_n sinai_n out_o of_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o fire_n and_o blackness_n darkness_n and_o tempest_n in_o the_o voice_n of_o a_o trumpet_n and_o true_o we_o have_v all_o need_n to_o have_v such_o rouse_a truth_n frequent_o inculcate_v upon_o we_o for_o the_o best_a of_o we_o be_v lethargical_a and_o though_o sometime_o when_o our_o conscience_n be_v pinch_v hard_o by_o a_o severe_a and_o search_a truth_n we_o start_v up_o and_o

with_o the_o first_o of_o these_o god_n appropriate_a and_o challenge_v vengeance_n unto_o himself_o vengeance_n belong_v unto_o i_o i_o will_v recompense_v say_v the_o lord_n which_o passage_n the_o

the_o great_a god_n hence_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o god_n himself_o will_v be_v the_o immediate_a inflicter_n of_o the_o punishment_n of_o the_o damn_a it_o be_v therefore_o here_o likewise_o

torture_n in_o hell_n there_o be_v the_o worm_n that_o never_o die_v and_o the_o fire_n that_o never_o go_v out_o which_o i_o suppose_v to_o be_v not_o only_o a_o metaphorical_a but_o possible_o a_o material_a fire_n elevate_v to_o such_o a_o degree_n of_o subtlety_n as_o that_o it_o shall_v at_o once_o torture_v the_o soul_n and_o not_o consume_v the_o body_n and_o this_o fire_n the_o devil_n who_o be_v their_o executioner_n will_v be_v still_o very_o officious_o rake_v about_o they_o use_v all_o their_o malicious_a art_n to_o increase_v their_o eternal_a misery_n but_o yet_o these_o
