my heart to add Drunkenness to thirst The Lord will not spare him but then the anger of the Lord and his jealousie shall smoke against that man and all the curses that are written in this Book shall lye upon him and the Lord shall blot out his name from under Heaven Moreover we read Gal. 3. 13. Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the Book of the Law to do them Such as are guilty of any transgression of the Law whilst out of Christ are under the curse and lyable unto Gods Wrath and it is said Heb. 3. 2. That every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward Hence it is that the children of disobedience are called children of Wrath Eph. 2. 2 3. 2. The wrath of God will come upon all Hypocrites it is more peculiarly appropriated unto them as their portion Matth. 24. 51. He shall cut him asunder and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites there shall be weeping and gnashing of Teeth Whoever escape Gods wrath hypocrites shall not escape whoever are pardoned hypocrites shall be punished such as have a form of Godliness but deny the power thereof such as make some show of outward reformation but are without inward transformation such as are like Painted Sepulchres fair and beautiful without but within full of rottenness such who make it their great business to appear Religious and take no care to be Religious but are rotten at heart and cover carnal designs with a cloke of profession as their sin is most offensive unto God here so his wrath will certainly come upon them with the greatest severity hereafter 3. The wrath of God will come upon all impenitent and unbelieving persons Luke 13. 3. Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish Mark 16. 16. He that believeth not shall be damned Repentance and Faith are two great duties of the Gospel and wrath is particularly threatned to such as do not obey the Gospel to such God will render indignation and wrath tribulation and anguish Rom. 2. 8 9. And Christ will come in flaming Fire to take vengeance upon them 2 Thess 1. 8. Such as are impenitent and unbelievers neglect the Salvation of the Gospel which by Faith in Christ alone is attainable and sinning against the only remedy they cannot escape Heb. 2. 3. How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation Fourthly When this wrath of God will come 1. The wrath of God will come in part upon the wicked immediately after the separation of their Soul from the Body the souls of the wicked assoon as they are loosned by death from the ruinous Habitation of their bodies they presently appear before God and are condemned to Hell and dragd by the Devil the Jaylor into that Prison where they are bound in Chains of Darkness filled with horrour and anguish until the day of eternal Judgement The Scripture tells us of disobedient Spirits thrown into Prison 1 Pet. 3. 19 20. 2. The Wrath of God will come in full upon all the wicked together at the last day called the day of Judgement and Perdition of the Ungodly 2 Pet. 3. 7. When the Lord Jesus shall come to Judge the World he will bring the Treasures of Gods wrath with him and render unto all the wicked that wrath and vengeance which is their due and therefore this day is called The day of Wrath and Revelation of the Righteous Judgement of God Rom. 2. 5. This will be a dreadful day unto the wicked when the Heavens shall pass away with a great noise and like a Stoll be rolled together and the Elements shall melt with frevent heat and be dissolved when the Sun shall become black as Sack-cloth of Hair and the Moon become like Blood when the powers of Heaven shall be shaken and the Stars shall fall from Heaven unto the Earth like Figgs from their Tree when it is shaken with a mighty Wind when there shall be Thunderings exceeding loud and Lightnings and Tempest exceeding horrid when the last Trumpet shall sound and a mighty shout shall come down from above and awaken all the Sinners that are asleep in the dust when Christ the great Judge of the World shall come forth from his Fathers house and make his appearance in the World with Millions of mighty Angels and all the Saints at his right hand clothed with Majesty and brightness of Glory and when the wicked shall come forth of their Graves and so soon as they shall open their eyes shall see Heaven and Earth on Fire about their Ears and the Lord Jesus coming towards them in flaming Fire to take vengeance upon them so soon as they open their ears shall hear the dreadful Trumpet and Shout in the Air and the Howlings and Lamentations of all their fellow Sinners about them upon the Earth O the dread and confusion which the wicked then shall be filled with when they are summoned and dragged to the Tribunal Seat of Christ and there have the Books opened before them where all their fins are written and which then will be made manifest unto the whole World and when the Sentence Depart ye cursed into everlasting Fire shall be passed upon them and when the Lord shall open the Treasures of Wrath unto them and give them that portion thereof which is their due and when they shall see the mouth of Hell open beneath them and an horrible flame issuing forth from thence giving notice of a more horrible fire within which is prepared for them O the dread O the shreeks Who can dwell with such devouring Fire Who can inhabit such everlasting burnings How welcome would a great Rock or Mountain be if they could find any that would fall upon them and hid them from the wrath of the Lamb and keep off the strokes of Gods vengeance which then will be inflicted upon them but the Sentence being pronounced the Execution will follow and none can escape it from Christ's tribunal Seat the wicked will be rhrown into the fiery Prison of Hell where they will be shut down and shut in and that for ever there they will lye there they will fry and there they will cry and though always dying yet they will never dye the fire there will burn most dreadfully and continually and never be extinguished and the wicked will be tormented there in every part and in extremity and their torment will never be ended Fifthly Who this Jesus is that doth deliver from Wrath to come In the Text he is called Jesus and the reason of this name we shall find Matth. 1. 21. Thou shalt call his Name Jesus for he shall Save his People from their Sins This Jesus is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 God and Man in one Person he is the Eternal Son of God of the same Essence with the Father equal to him in Power and Glory who before the world was appointed in time to be the Redeemer of Mankind and when
