thou camest and that is to the earth For out of the Dust wert thou taken and to the dust shalt thou returne againe And from thence to the place of execution in hell and there shalt thou hang in torments intollerable and perpetuall prepared for the Deuill and his Angels where shall be weeping and wailing aud gnashing of teeth for euer Thou shalt haue blacke fame for thy herault and euerlasting shame for thy hearse feare and terrour shall be dealt for thy doale and the curses of the poore shall follow thee to thy graue And this is briefely the substance of the sentence of the reprobate man of earth which is yet but a shadow of that which it is indeed for indeed it will be more grieuous and terrible when it commeth then is possible for all the tongues of men and Angels to expresse Now a little of the execution of this sentence In earthly iudgements execution doth not alwaies presently follow the sentence of the iudge for some are repriued vpon further consideration some are after a while committed to the gallies and perpetuall slauerie some are sodenly hanged vp not knowing of the time when nor the place where vntill the very instant And some haue knowledge both of the time and place before hand that they may be prepared for death So is it also in this heauenly iudgement Some are repriued and liue long yet still in the prison of sinne and slauerie of the Deuill which is to encrease their torment some are sodenly taken and speedily destroyed without recouerie being brought by the righteous hand of God into euil in the middest of the Cōgregation as apeareth in Pro. 6. 15. Some are longer in languishing paines torments then some euen in this world for one and the same fault There be three causes for which the Lord doth defer the ful executiō of iudgement vpon the wicked the first is to keepe thē in continuall miserie for all good things turne to their euill the second is to plague them with their owne sinne for there cannot be a greater mischiefe then to be a wicked man and to liue long in wickednes for when he hath serued the deuill the deuill shall pay him his wages and that sinne wherunto he hath beene most enclined and whereof he looked for the greatest pleasure and profite shall worke him the greatest plague and woe The third cause is that they may liue and punish vs which are the children of GOD who haue beene alreadie crossed and whipped by them and are neuer the better but when he hath worne them as rods to the stumpes vpon the backes of his stubburne children and well humbled vs by them he will then cast his rods into the fire God punisheth not as earthlie iudges doe to content them that haue receiued the wrong or to satisfie the worlde but because he hateth sinne and loueth righteousnesse and drawe thereout greate glorie to himselfe and singular good to his children The vse of this Doctrine may serue to terrifie the wicked who vse to make but a iest of the iudgements of God saying what so long yet till doomes day c. but it is not so lōg as they dreame for the sentēce of God is begunne many times to be executed vpon the wicked euen when they least feele it for it is a iudgement of it selfe to be past feeling of Gods iudgement when they sinne It serueth also to comfort the godly who thinke the time long till the Lord take the wicked in hand which do oppresse and vexe them Lastly let it serue to admonish all of vs to looke vnto our waies and to liue so as that when God shall get vp vnto his iudgement seat we may be found in Christ our great suertie vnblameable and so escape the fearefull and irrecouerable sentence of the wicked and reprobate and on the other side may receiue our quietus est and discharge with Gods elect in Christ Iesus To whom with the Father and the holy Spirit be all honour power and dominion for euermore Now let vs praise God Amen Errata In pag. 16. line 13. that for read for that pa 20. li. 17. for thine read mine in line 20. for thy r. the. pa. 37. li. 16. for they in r. they are in lin 18. afficted re afflicted pa. 41. lin 24. want re wait pa. 51. li. 8. be re for pa 52 lin 3. case r. cause pa. 63. li. 1. then the read then to the.
