not_o enter_v into_o his_o rest_n yet_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o both_o the_o tenor_n of_o the_o sentence_n which_o our_o bless_a saviour_n have_v assure_v we_o will_v be_v pass_v upon_o they_o at_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o great_a day_n depart_v you_o curse_v into_o everlasting_a fire_n and_o likewise_o this_o declaration_n in_o the_o text_n that_o the_o wicked_a shall_v go_v away_o into_o everlasting_a punishment_n though_o they_o do_v not_o restrain_v god_n from_o do_v what_o he_o please_v yet_o they_o cut_v off_o from_o the_o sinner_n all_o reasonable_a hope_n of_o the_o relaxation_n or_o mitigation_n of_o they_o for_o since_o the_o great_a judge_n of_o the_o world_n have_v make_v so_o plain_a and_o express_v a_o declaration_n and_o will_v certain_o pass_v such_o a_o sentence_n it_o will_v be_v the_o great_a folly_n and_o madness_n in_o the_o world_n for_o the_o sinner_n to_o entertain_v any_o hope_n of_o escape_v it_o and_o to_o venture_v his_o soul_n upon_o that_o hope_n i_o know_v but_o one_o thing_n more_o common_o say_v upon_o this_o argument_n that_o seem_v material_a and_o that_o be_v this_o that_o the_o word_n death_n and_o destruction_n and_o perish_v whereby_o the_o punishment_n of_o wicked_a man_n in_o the_o other_o world_n be_v most_o frequent_o express_v in_o scripture_n do_v most_o proper_o import_v annihilation_n and_o a_o utter_a end_n of_o be_v and_o therefore_o may_v reasonable_o be_v so_o understand_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o which_o we_o be_v now_o speak_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o these_o word_n and_o those_o which_o answer_v they_o in_o other_o language_n be_v often_o both_o in_o scripture_n and_o other_o author_n use_v to_o signify_v a_o state_n of_o great_a misery_n and_o suffering_n without_o the_o utter_a extinction_n of_o the_o miserable_a thus_o god_n be_v often_o in_o scripture_n say_v to_o bring_v destruction_n upon_o a_o nation_n when_o he_o send_v great_a judgement_n upon_o they_o though_o they_o do_v not_o exterminate_v and_o make_v a_o utter_a end_n of_o they_o and_o nothing_o be_v more_o common_a in_o most_o language_n than_o by_o perish_v to_o express_v a_o person_n be_v undo_v and_o make_v very_o miserable_a as_o in_o that_o know_a passage_n in_o tiberius_n his_o letter_n to_o the_o roman_a senate_n etc._n let_v all_o the_o god_n and_o goddess_n say_v he_o destroy_v i_o worse_o than_o at_o this_o very_a time_n i_o feel_v myself_o to_o perish_v etc._n etc._n in_o which_o say_v the_o word_n destroy_v and_o perish_v be_v both_o of_o they_o use_v to_o express_v the_o miserable_a anguish_n and_o torment_n which_o at_o that_o time_n he_o feel_v in_o his_o mind_n as_o tacitus_n tell_v we_o at_o large_a and_o as_o for_o the_o word_n death_n a_o state_n of_o misery_n which_o be_v as_o bad_a or_o worse_o than_o death_n may_v proper_o enough_o be_v call_v by_o that_o name_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n the_o punishment_n of_o wicked_a man_n after_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n be_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o revelation_n so_o frequent_o and_o fit_o call_v the_o second_o death_n and_o the_o lake_n of_o fire_n into_o which_o the_o wicked_a shall_v be_v cast_v to_o be_v torment_v in_o it_o be_v express_o call_v the_o second_o death_n 20.14_o but_o beside_o this_o they_o that_o argue_v from_o the_o force_n of_o these_o word_n that_o the_o punishment_n of_o wicked_a man_n in_o the_o other_o world_n shall_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o utter_a end_n of_o their_o be_v do_v necessary_o fall_v into_o two_o great_a inconvenience_n first_o that_o hereby_o they_o exclude_v all_o positive_a punishment_n and_o torment_n of_o sinner_n for_o if_o the_o second_o death_n and_o to_o be_v destroy_v and_o to_o perish_v signify_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o annihilation_n of_o sinner_n and_o a_o utter_a extinction_n of_o their_o be_v and_o if_o this_o be_v all_o the_o effect_n of_o that_o dreadful_a sentence_n which_o shall_v be_v pass_v upon_o they_o at_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n than_o the_o fire_n of_o hell_n be_v quench_v all_o at_o once_o and_o be_v only_o a_o frightful_a metaphor_n without_o any_o meaning_n but_o this_o be_v direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o tenor_n of_o scripture_n which_o do_v so_o often_o describe_v the_o punishment_n of_o wicked_a man_n in_o hell_n by_o positive_a torment_n and_o particular_o our_o bless_a saviour_n describe_v the_o lamentable_a state_n of_o the_o damn_a in_o hell_n express_o say_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v weep_v and_o wail_v and_o gnash_n of_o tooth_n which_o can_v be_v if_o annihilation_n be_v all_o the_o meaning_n and_o effect_n of_o the_o sentence_n of_o the_o great_a day_n second_o another_o inconvenience_n of_o this_o opinion_n be_v that_o if_o annihilation_n be_v all_o the_o punishment_n of_o sinner_n in_o the_o other_o world_n than_o the_o punishment_n of_o all_o sinner_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v equal_a because_o there_o be_v no_o degree_n of_o annihilation_n or_o not-being_a but_o this_o also_o be_v most_o direct_o contrary_a to_o scripture_n as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v i_o know_v very_o well_o that_o some_o who_o be_v of_o this_o opinion_n do_v allow_v a_o very_a long_a and_o tedious_a time_n of_o the_o most_o terrible_a and_o intolerable_a torment_n of_o sinner_n and_o after_o that_o they_o believe_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o utter_a end_n of_o their_o be_v but_o then_o they_o must_v not_o argue_v this_o from_o the_o force_n of_o the_o word_n before_o mention_v because_o the_o plain_a inference_n from_o thence_o be_v that_o annihilation_n be_v all_o the_o punishment_n that_o wicked_a man_n shall_v undergo_v in_o the_o next_o life_n and_o if_o that_o be_v not_o true_a as_o i_o have_v plain_o show_v that_o it_o be_v not_o i_o do_v not_o see_v from_o what_o other_o word_n or_o expression_n in_o scripture_n they_o can_v find_v the_o least_o ground_n for_o this_o opinion_n that_o the_o torment_n of_o wicked_a man_n shall_v at_o last_o end_n in_o their_o annihilation_n and_o yet_o admit_v all_o this_o for_o which_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o ground_n at_o all_o in_o scripture_n i_o can_v see_v what_o great_a comfort_n sinner_n can_v take_v in_o the_o thought_n of_o a_o tedious_a time_n of_o terrible_a torment_n end_v at_o last_o in_o annihilation_n and_o the_o utter_a extinction_n of_o their_o being_n three_o we_o may_v consider_v further_o that_o the_o primary_n end_n of_o all_o threaten_n be_v not_o punishment_n but_o the_o prevention_n of_o it_o for_o god_n do_v not_o threaten_v that_o man_n may_v sin_v and_o be_v punish_v but_o that_o they_o may_v not_o sin_n and_o so_o may_v escape_v the_o punishment_n threaten_v and_o therefore_o the_o high_a the_o threaten_n run_v so_o much_o the_o more_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n there_o be_v in_o it_o because_o it_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o likely_a to_o hinder_v man_n from_o incur_v the_o penalty_n that_o be_v threaten_v four_o let_v it_o be_v consider_v likewise_o that_o when_o it_o be_v be_v so_o very_o plain_a that_o god_n have_v threaten_v eternal_a misery_n to_o impenitent_a sinner_n all_o the_o prudence_n in_o the_o world_n oblige_v man_n to_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v in_o good_a earnest_n and_o will_v execute_v these_o threaten_n upon_o they_o if_o they_o will_v obstinate_o stand_v it_o out_o with_o he_o and_o will_v not_o be_v bring_v to_o repentance_n and_o therefore_o in_o all_o reason_n we_o ought_v so_o to_o demean_v ourselves_o and_o so_o to_o persuade_v other_o as_o know_v the_o terror_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o that_o they_o who_o wilful_o break_v his_o law_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o eternal_a death_n to_o which_o i_o will_v add_v in_o the_o five_o and_o last_o place_n that_o if_o we_o suppose_v that_o god_n do_v intend_v that_o his_o threaten_n shall_v have_v their_o effect_n to_o deter_v man_n from_o the_o breach_n of_o his_o law_n it_o can_v be_v imagine_v that_o in_o the_o same_o revelation_n which_o declare_v these_o threaten_n any_o intimation_n shall_v be_v give_v of_o the_o abatement_n or_o non-execution_n of_o they_o for_o by_o this_o god_n will_v have_v weaken_a his_o own_o law_n and_o have_v take_v off_o the_o edge_n and_o terror_n of_o his_o threaten_n because_o a_o threaten_a have_v quite_o lose_v its_o force_n if_o we_o once_o come_v to_o believe_v that_o it_o will_v not_o be_v execute_v and_o consequent_o it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a impious_a design_n to_o go_v about_o to_o teach_v or_o persuade_v any_o thing_n to_o the_o contrary_a and_o a_o betray_a man_n into_o that_o misery_n which_o have_v it_o be_v firm_o believe_v may_v have_v be_v avoid_v we_o be_v all_o bind_v to_o preach_v and_o you_o and_o i_o be_v all_o bind_v to_o believe_v the_o terror_n of_o the_o lord_n not_o so_o as_o saucy_o to_o determine_v and_o pronounce_v what_o god_n must_v do_v in_o this_o
evil-speakings_a 1.29_o and_o the_o apostle_n rank_n backbiter_n with_o fornicator_n and_o murderer_n and_o hater_n of_o god_n and_o with_o those_o of_o who_o it_o be_v express_o say_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n 6.10_o and_o when_o he_o enumerate_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o last_o time_n 3._o man_n say_v he_o shall_v be_v lover_n of_o themselves_o covetous_a boaster_n evil-speaker_n without_o natural_a affection_n perfidious_a false_a accuser_n etc._n etc._n and_o which_o be_v the_o strange_a of_o all_o they_o who_o be_v say_v to_o be_v guilty_a of_o these_o great_a vice_n and_o enormity_n be_v note_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o be_v great_a pretender_n to_o religion_n for_o so_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o next_o word_n have_v a_o form_n of_o godliness_n but_o deny_v the_o power_n thereof_o so_o that_o it_o be_v no_o new_a thing_n for_o man_n to_o make_v a_o more_o than_o ordinary_a profession_n of_o christianity_n and_o yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n to_o live_v in_o a_o most_o palpable_a contradiction_n to_o the_o precept_n of_o that_o holy_a religion_n as_o if_o any_o pretence_n to_o mystery_n and_o i_o know_v not_o what_o extraordinary_a attainment_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n can_v exempt_v man_n from_o obedience_n to_o his_o law_n and_o set_v they_o above_o the_o virtue_n of_o a_o good_a life_n and_o now_o after_o all_o this_o do_v we_o hardly_o think_v that_o to_o be_v a_o sin_n which_o be_v in_o scripture_n so_o frequent_o rank_v with_o murder_n and_o adultery_n and_o the_o black_a crime_n such_o as_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o the_o life_n and_o power_n of_o religion_n and_o will_v certain_o shut_v man_n out_o of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n do_v we_o believe_v the_o bible_n to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o can_v we_o allow_v ourselves_o in_o the_o common_a practice_n of_o a_o sin_n than_o which_o there_o be_v hardly_o any_o fault_n of_o man_n life_n more_o frequent_o mention_v more_o

every_o idle_a word_n we_o must_v give_v a_o account_n in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n that_o by_o thy_o word_n thou_o shall_v be_v justify_v and_o by_o thy_o word_n thou_o shall_v be_v condemn_v

be_v easy_a for_o every_o man_n to_o understand_v not_o hard_o for_o any_o man_n that_o can_v but_o resolve_v to_o keep_v a_o good_a guard_n upon_o himself_o for_o some_o time_n by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o practice_n and_o most_o reasonable_a for_o all_o man_n but_o especial_o for_o all_o christian_n to_o observe_v it_o be_v as_o easy_a as_o a_o resolute_a silence_n upon_o just_a

hearty_o endeavour_v to_o amend_v this_o one_o fault_n we_o shall_v soon_o be_v better_a man_n in_o our_o whole_a life_n i_o mean_v that_o the_o correct_v of_o this_o vice_n together_o with_o those_o
