His understanding vvas full of divine knovvledge of the vvhole mind of God 2. His vvill and affections vvere fully conformable to Gods vvill Q Wherein did mans happinesse further consist A. In five things 1. He vvas in favour vvith God 2. He had familiar communion vvith God 3. He felt unspeakable joy arising from this communion 4. He had dominion over all inferior creatures 5.

What learne you by this A. Three things 1. To lament and bevvaile the losse of this condition by sinne 2. That I ought to labour to get this jmage of God repayred in me 3. That I ought not to be ashamed of holynesse nor to content my selfe vvith some small measures of it much lesse to hate it as profane persons and dissembling hypocrites doe Q. What is that miserable and lamentable estate that man is now fallen into A. His misery novv appeares in foure things 1. In his birth he is borne dead in sinne and so void of all good and full of all evill and so a child of vvrath Ephes 2.1 2 3 4. Rom. 1.29 2. In his life vvhatsoever he doth is sinne in Gods sight Tit. 1.15 God and all creatures are his enemies Psal 5.5 Iob. 5.23 he remaines a bondslave of Satan til God convert him Acts. 26.18 and hangs by the tvvinethred of life every moment ready to drop into hell 3. In his death then comes an end of all his hopes and pleasures and the beginning of all his vvoes and sorrovves 4. After death First comes his particular judgement Heb. 9.27 after this follovves his generall judgement vvhen that terrible sentence 25. and the 41. ver shall be pressed upon him After this follovves the execution vvherein the vialls of Gods fierce vvrath are povvred out upon his soule and body vvhich fire shall never be quenched Q.

He is not affected vvith it though hee should knovv it Rom. 2.5 3. Hee is unable of himselfe to come out of it though he should both knovv it and be affected vvith it Rom. 5.6 Q. What learne you from hence A. I learne that Gods vvrath against sinne and sinnefull man temaining in this condion is very great Q. How great is it A. So great that nothing vvithout Christ but eternall death of body and soule in the everlasting torments of hell can satisfie Gods just displeasure Gal. 3.10 Q. Is it best now to see your miserable condition by nature and to seele this wrath of God and mourne under it while there is hope and meanes to come out of it or to stay till the gate of grace be shut and God snatches the soule from all hope and meanes by death A. It 's farre better to see it and to mourne under it novv Q. How and why must a man see and feele himselfe under this wrath and misery A. 1. Every man must see that he is under Gods vvrath for the present else he vvill never seeke to Christ to beare it for him 2. Man must see vvhat this fearefull vvrath of God is that is novv piled against him else he vvill never prize Christ to deliver him out of it 3. All men must see that this vvrath is ready to light on them every moment in the full measure of it else they vvill deferre their returne till hereafter 4 A man must see hee is bound hand and foot in the chaines of his sinnes and cannot come from under them nor lay hould of Christ to help him out of them else he vvill presume he hath received Christ vvhen he hath not Q. What is to be knowne of every one
