That the weighty concerns of the unseen world are eternal And that 1. By Scripture plainly 2. By induction from Scripture and Nature 1. We shall prove the Doctrine by plain Scripture Mat. 25. ult These shall go away into everlasting punishment but the Righteous into life eternal Here you see the rewards of the other world that all shall reap are styled everlasting and eternal Dan. 12.2 Many of them that sleep in the dust of the Earth shall awake some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt Both the reward of the Godly and the impious is here called Everlasting in the unseen world So you have the Scripture speaking of the Righteous and the wicked particularly and proclaiming their reward to be eternal and everlasting Thus 't is said the Godly seek for Eternal life in the other world Rom. 2.7 and that They are heirs of Eternal life Titus 3.7 and that They have an House not made with hands eternal in the Heavens 2 Cor. 5.1 And the Apostle tells us that he therefore endured all things for the Elects sake that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Jesus Christ with eternal Glory 2 Tim. 2.10 so Heaven is called their Everlasting Habitation Luke 16.9 And as the enjoyments of the Saints are eternal so likewise are the miseries of the wicked They are to be punished with Everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and the Glory of his power 2 Thes 1.9 they are to be cast into Everlasting fire Mat. 18.8 or into fire that shall never be quenched and where the worm dieth not Mark 9.44 So also 't is said that they shall be tormented day and night for ever and for ever Rev. 20.10.15 2. We shall prove the Doctrine by induction from Scripture and Nature 1. The Soul is eternal and dies not and therefore must be happy or miserable for ever This cannot be killed Mat. 10.28 when it leaveth the Body it doth not sleep or die as the Body doth Eccles 12.7 and when 't is again re-united to the Body at the Resurrection 't will never be separated from it but Body and Soul are joyned together at the Resurrection for Everlasting life or Everlasting shame and contempt Dan. 12.2 and therefore they will have an Eternal Existence At the Resurrection the very Body it self will be raised incorruptible Our corruption must put on incorruption 1 Cor. 15.53 Though at present our Bodies die and moulder to dust yet at the Resurrection they will not be capable of corruption We shall then die no more a Natural death Luke 20.36 And if Body and Soul will live eternally after the Resurrection-day they must needs be either happy or miserable to eternity if they have for ever an Existence they must needs have a felicitous or infelicitous Existence If they do not vanish into nothing or are not corrupted killed or separated then they will certainly for ever groan or triumph rejoyce or mourn 2. Eternal rewards are promised or threatned God doth not promise to magnify mercy and loving kindness to the Saints for a small season only but to Eternity nor doth he threaten momentany losses or sufferings only to the wicked and impious but everlasting The Righteous shall shine as the Stars for ever and ever Dan. 12.3 And the wicked have darkness for ever reserved for them 2 Peter 2.17 Believers shall never perish or die John 11.26 And the Impenitent are to be cast into fire that shall never be quenched Mark 9.43 This is the encouragement that God doth give his People they shall have everlasting joy upon their heads ere long and this is the discouragement he gives the wicked they shall be punished with eternal destruction or tormented day and night for ever and for ever Oh! Heaven will have Believers triumphing in it to the utmost limits and bounds of Eternity for God hath promised it to them And Hell will have ungodly Souls and the finally impenitent weeping and gnashing their teeth in it for ever more for God hath fore-told and threatned it and he is a true just and Righteous GOD. 3. GOD that is engaged to distribute these Rewards is eternal he liveth for ever to see the execution of what ever hath gone out of his mouth As he was from everlasting so he will continue to everlasting He inhabits eternity Isa 57.15 The Eternal God is the refuge comfort and salvation of the Saints Deut. 33.27 And the confusion discomfort and and terrour of the impious and wicked If Jehovah himself could die the Saints happiness would expire and have a period and the wickeds and damneds misery in Hell would be over but he living who hath promised and threatned and is engaged to accomplish the Saints hopes and wicked's fears we may be sure they will last for ever Oh! God hath no end of daies Jehovah's age will never expire He is Eternal that hath undertaken to priviledg the Pious with eternal Life and reward the Impious with eternal Death therefore unseen concerns will be eternal 4. As God is eternal so he will be eternally Alsufficient to make good his word As he was Almighty and Infinite and boundless in all perfections from eternity so he will remain unto eternity From everlasting to everlasting he is God Ps 90.2 He will never descend from the Throne or become frail or unable to execute his promises or threatnings He is the eternal and immortal King 1 Tim. 1.17 He is independent for ever and can perform his pleasure to all eternity And therefore his Decree and Law touching the endless condition of the Righteous and wicked will stand Alas God can as easily make the Righteous immortally happy and the impious immortally miserable as uphold the world and all things therein upon the borders of time He lives continually in the same Majesty Glory and Perfections that he is invested with to this day And he will never have his Omnipotency impaired diminished or weakned If God were capable to be dethroned or to become infirm or weak for the accomplishment of his projects or revealed Will the ungodly might hope for an expiration of their sorrows and the Righteous might fear a period of their Joy and Felicity but God being unchangeable and immutably the same to everlasting the hopes of the one and the fears of the other will be vain 5. God will eternally delight in the happiness of the Saints and miseries of the wicked and therefore both the one and the other will be eternal Touching the Pious 't is said that 't is the Father's good pleasure to give them a Kingdom Luke 12.32 They are the Persons that Jehovah delights to honour their Glory is God's Glory Ephes 1.12 JESUS CHRIST will come to be glorified in them at the Resurrection-day when he shall set the Crown of Heavenly Felicity and magnificency upon their heads 2 Thes 1.10 So that their happiness and exaltation will be God's Glory Delight and Rejoycing and therefore will be eternal
