the_o enemy_n of_o heaven_n it_o seem_v the_o torment_n of_o this_o dreadful_a place_n be_v set_v forth_o by_o fire_n one_o of_o the_o cruel_a of_o the_o element_n nay_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o

for_o since_o they_o be_v spiritual_a and_o immaterial_a being_n they_o can_v be_v torment_v by_o any_o ordinary_a material_a fire_n the_o fire_n therefore_o of_o tophet_n must_v be_v of_o such_o a_o

be_v say_v to_o be_v kindle_v by_o the_o breath_n of_o the_o almighty_a the_o fiery_a furnace_n of_o babylon_n be_v dreadful_a enough_o though_o it_o be_v kindle_v only_o by_o the_o breath_n of_o a_o

of_o heaven_n these_o ambitious_a spirit_n endeavour_v at_o the_o very_a first_o to_o dethrone_v their_o almighty_a creator_n and_o since_o they_o fail_v in_o that_o black_a design_n they_o have_v ever_o since_o discover_v their_o inveterate_a hatred_n of_o god_n by_o tempt_a mankind_n into_o the_o same_o curse_a conspiracy_n against_o he_o sure_o then_o that_o fire_n which_o be_v prepare_v for_o these_o malicious_a enemy_n of_o heaven_n can_v possible_o want_v any_o ingredient_n of_o torture_n infinite_a wisdom_n can_v invent_v or_o infinite_a power_n inflict_v now_o such_o devour_a

appear_v more_o dreadful_a and_o that_o be_v the_o eternal_a duration_n of_o they_o for_o here_o it_o be_v that_o the_o worm_n never_o die_v here_o it_o be_v that_o the_o fire_n be_v not_o quench_v when_o the_o sinner_n have_v lie_v in_o hell_n as_o many_o million_o of_o year_n as_o there_o be_v sand_n on_o the_o seashore_n he_o will_v be_v no_o near_o a_o end_n of_o his_o torment_n than_o he_o be_v the_o first_o moment_n of_o his_o entrance_n into_o they_o who_o can_v read_v without_o tremble_v what_o st._n mark_n tell_v we_o chap._n 9_o 49._o namely_o that_o the_o damn_a shall_v be_v

wretched_a person_n they_o seem_v to_o devour_v o_o cruel_a mercy_n of_o hellish_a flame_n o_o preservation_n worse_o than_o the_o most_o dreadful_a destruction_n thus_o great_a be_v those_o evil_n we_o be_v deliver_v from_o and_o you_o will_v easy_o conclude_v how_o great_a that_o salvation_n be_v which_o deliver_v we_o from_o they_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n do_v exceed_o rejoice_v when_o they_o be_v deliver_v from_o the_o tyranny_n of_o pharaoh_n and_o the_o slavery_n of_o egypt_n but_o sure_a hell_n be_v a_o more_o dreadful_a kind_n of_o bondage_n than_o egypt_n and_o satan_n a_o worse_a sort_n of_o tyrant_n than_o pharaoh_n therefore_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o text_n which_o deliver_v we_o from_o these_o dreadful_a and_o infinite_a evil_n must_v needs_o be_v exceed_v great_a 3_o the_o greatness_n of_o this_o salvation_n will_v appear_v yet_o further_o if_o we_o consider_v that_o infinite_a and_o eternal_a happiness_n it_o bring_v along_o with_o it_o this_o

the_o most_o ravish_a enjoyment_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n if_o a_o uninterrupted_a and_o eternal_a fruition_n of_o the_o most_o desirable_a pleasure_n if_o all_o this_o be_v sufficient_a to_o

why_o christian_n must_v expect_v the_o severe_a punishment_n if_o they_o neglect_v this_o great_a salvation_n be_v because_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n which_o the_o gospel_n afford_v for_o the_o obtain_n of_o this_o salvation_n be_v now_o more_o plentiful_a than_o they_o be_v before_o st._n john_n tell_v we_o chap._n 1._o 17._o that_o the_o law_n be_v give_v by_o moses_n but_o grace_n and_o

plenty_n and_o abundance_n of_o it_o the_o law_n can_v do_v no_o more_o than_o show_v man_n his_o duty_n but_o the_o gospel_n afford_v he_o grace_n to_o perform_v it_o hence_o the_o preacher_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v style_v able_a minister_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n not_o of_o the_o letter_n but_o of_o the_o spirit_n for_o the_o letter_n kill_v but_o the_o spirit_n give_v life_n 2_o cor._n 3._o 6._o the_o law_n be_v here_o call_v the_o letter_n and_o be_v say_v to_o kill_v because_o it_o show_v our_o duty_n and_o the_o danger_n of_o neglect_v it_o but_o give_v no_o grace_n to_o help_v we_o in_o the_o perform_n of_o it_o but_o the_o gospel_n be_v call_v the_o spirit_n because_o the_o spirit_n of_o grace_n do_v by_o his_o internal_a operation_n accompany_v the_o outward_a ministration_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o so_o give_v we_o life_n thus_o you_o see_v what_o plentiful_a mean_n of_o grace_n the_o gospel_n afford_v we_o for_o the_o obtain_n of_o this_o great_a salvation_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o do_v neglect_v these_o mean_n of_o grace_n our_o condemnation_n as_o it_o will_v be_v more_o just_a so_o it_o will_v be_v more_o heavy_a too_o this_o be_v
