The wages of sin is death Rom. 6.23 The soul that sins shall dye and also convinceth him of his Actual Transgressions to wit his sins of Omission and his sins of Commission both in doing that which God hath forbidden in his holy Word and in not doing that which he hath commanded or not as he commandeth it to be done God convinceth the sinners conscience of his sinning against Light against Checks of Conscience and many good Motions of the holy Spirit and shews him how he hath sinned against the mercies patience and long-sufferings of God and how he hath sinned under God's chastisements corrections and righteous Judgments and that neither the Word of God nor his Rod hath wrought Repentance in him nor caused him to turn from his sinful courses The sinful sinner being under this great work of Conviction of Conscience begins to see and apprehend the vileness of his Nature and the sinfulness of his sins to be such so many and so great that he trembles and is afraid of Death and Damnation he begins to have some sense and feeling in his conscience of the wrath of God and fears he shall dye in his sins and go to Hell and be damned to eternity Now the terrours of the Almighty are in his conscience his heart is filled with horrour the sting of sin hath wounded his Spirit and a wounded Spirit who can bear Prov. 18.14 and being pricked in the heart cryes out What shall I do Acts 2.37 I am a sinful sinner a vile sinner a lost undone perishing sinner Woe 's me that ever I was born I am a damnable wicked wretch my heart is deceitful and desperately wicked Ah my vain thoughts my vile affections my evil concupiscence my sinful lusts Alas alas my idle words and blasphemies and my ungodly life and sinful conversation Woe and alas the deceitfulness of sin hath so hardened my heart that I cannot Repent and I have been so accustomed to do evil that I know not how to Reform and amend my life and forsake my sins and if I go on in my former sinful courses I shall certainly be damned Hereupon the sinful sinner sets upon Reformation saith to his sinful companions as David did Psal 6.8 Depart from me all ye workers of iniquity And saith to his Lusts as Ephraim did to his Idols Hos 14.8 What have I to do any more with sinful lusts and pleasures Now the convinced sinner resolves to leave his sins that he fears else will damn his soul and now he begins to perform some holy Duties he will hear Sermons and read the holy Scriptures and good Books and pray And it may be the convinced sinner will mourn for his sins and humble himself as Ahab did and Reform some of his evil courses And by this Reformation Humiliation mourning for his sins and performing some holy duties the sinner may have some calm and feel some quiet in his conscience for a season and begin to hope all will be well with him until the Reigning power of sin that hath yet the dominion over him prevail against him and he being yet a servant of sin and free from Righteousness as the Apostle speaks Rom. 6. v. 20. yieldeth willing and ready obedience to his own lusts that inticeth him to sin and when his lust hath conceived and brought forth sin then his conscience accuseth him and Satan now begins to suggest that there is no hope of pardon nor salvation for him Now his latter end is worse than his beginning and therefore the Devil tells him It is in vain for him to pray any more or to hear any more or to perform any holy duties And now the convinced sinful sinner judgeth his Soul's state and condition to be worse than ever it was he hath so many dreadful Temptations he is so filled with blasphemous Thoughts that he begins to be a terrour to himself and is tempted to chuse strangling rather than life he is so tormented in his conscience and so tempted by Satan and terrified with fears of Hell He sees now the Law curseth him Gal. 3.10 and the Gospel judgeth him 2 Thes 1.9 And he is made to receive the sentence of Condemnation in himself is made to read it in the written Word of God Joh. 3.18 He that believeth not is condemned already Now God goes on with his work of Conviction which he had before begun in the sinful sinners Conscience and sends his holy Spirit to convince and reprove him of Sin of Righteousness and of Judgment Joh. 16.8 9 10. And the Spirit by that Scripture Joh. 3.18 or some other Scripture to that purpose doth thoroughly convince the sinner that although his pride passion worldliness uncleanness prophaness his lying stealing swearing drinking whoring or any one or other of his sins deserves eternal Death Rom. 6.23 Yet that sin for which the wrath of God abideth on him and for which he is by the written Word of God condemned already is his great sin of unbelief Joh. 3.18.36 and Heb. 3.11 18. God hath sworn that those who do not believe shall not enter into his Rest that is into Heaven Heb. 3.18 19. Take notice Reader that in Conviction of sin because we believe not the holy Spirit doth by the Word convince the Sinner First That he is an unbeliever and hath not obtained the precious Faith of God's Elect whereby the Soul is united unto Christ Eph. 4. v 13. adopted the Child of God Gal. 3.26 justified and all its sins pardoned and at peace with God Rom. 5.1 and now the convinced sinner sees he is without God without Christ and without Faith Secondly That he must believe or he cannot be saved Mar. 16.15 16. He that believeth not shall be damned His praying mourning reforming though they are good in themselves and are his duty yet the doing these or any other yea all other holy duties without this precious Faith in Christ will not cannot save him and now the sinner is convinced that there is an indispensible necessity of his believing in Christ for salvation Thirdly That he cannot believe Faith is not of our selves it is not of Works Eph. 2.8 9.
