nihilo by grace For there the Apostle compares these two states of us what we are by nature and sin and what we are by grace And in the fifth verse 't is more plain yet Even when we were dead in sins hath he quick'ned us together with Christ Aquinas By grace are you saved gratia gratis datâ These last words very well explain the former to our present purpose And this is the first death which is the Wages of sin and is truely called a spiritual death The second follows upon it and that is a natural death Magnus or Temporal which is dissolutio corporis animae the dissolution of the body and Soul Therefore sayes the Apostle 〈◊〉 5. 〈◊〉 Vers 11. As sin hath reigned unto death And before that you finde this deaths head more plainly presented in an ugly shape as it were upon a stage acting a part ● R. or at least moving above-board Wherefore as by one man sin entered into the World and sin by death and so death did pass upon all men for that all have sinned The words at least in sense and meaning of the forenamed Doctrine This is the second Though S. John in the Revelation calls my third in order the second death And so it is indeed in Divinity He is the Divine But I have made bold as a spiritual Physician in these distempered times to present you with a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And to give you a mixt Dosis or taste of the naturall and the spiritual The third is that which is the worst a death unto life eternal Bolton Isai 66.24 and yet a death that never dies Their Worm shall never die their Fire shall never be quenched The former death is but as the prick of a lancet or flea-biting unto this 1 Cor. 15. for that is but for a time we shall rise again after that at the last day but this is to all eternity I what if I did say determined from all eternity Constitutum est omnibus semel mori● Heb●● 2● Exp. i. e. in this death continually alwayes dying and yet never dead quae ab ipso momento dependet aeternitas as the Father elegantly an eternity for ever succeeding our sudden departure By the former the body is but kill'd fear not him that kills the body but by this both body and Soul are utterly destroyed Matth. 10.26 Rather fear him that is able to destroy both body and Soul in Hell Whence S. Austin Lib. de Civit. Dei 21. Prima mors animam nolentem pellit de corpore secunda mors animam nolentem tenet in corpore The first death driveth the Soul out of the body being unwilling to part with it The second death keepeth the Soul against her will in the body The first death is the separation of the Soul from the body The second is the separation of Soul and body from God and by how much God is more excellent then the Soul by so much the second death is worse then the first Prima mors bonis bona est malis mala Aust●● Civit. Dei Lib. 13. secunda ut nullorum bonorum est ita nulli bona The first death is good to good men because it endeth their sorrows and begins their joyes but evil to evil men because it ends their joyes and begins their everlasting weeping and gnashing of teeth The second as it belongeth to none that are good so it is good to none Both these are the due Wages of sin and shall be paid at the Audit day of doom The sentence pronounced against Adam mort● morieris By the reduplication of the word seems to imply as much as thou shalt die again and again iterum atque iterum the first and second death The first is as the earnest penny the second as the whole hire both make up the Wages of sin The first is like the splitting of a Ship and casting away all the goods and wares the latter as the burning of both with unquenchable fire This is the Wages of every sinner that dies in sin unrepented off Such must go down even quick into Hell Psal 55 15. sayes King David and Christ sayes God shall pronounce the sentence of condemnation upon them at the last day Matth. 25.41 Go you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels Every word is able to break yea grind in pieces a heart of Adamant Loco super I cannot let pass S. Austin his observation Nemo hic propriè moriens seu in morte dicitur sed ante mortem aut post mortem i.e. viventes aut mortui ibi è contrario non erunt homines ante mortem aut post mortem sed sine fine morientes nunquam pejus erit homini in morte quam ubi erit mors ipsa sine morte In this life men cannot be said properly to be dying or in death but alive or dead for whil'st the Soul remains in the body we are living after the separation thereof we are dead Whereas they that are in Hell cannot be properly said to be dead because they are most sensible of pain nor to be alive because they suffer the punishment of the second death but continually dying And never shall it be worse with man in death then where death it self is without death where life perpetually liveth according to that of Isaiah A worm continually gnawing Lib. 9. Mor. cap. 45. so a fire continually burning S. Gregory sweetly quavers upon this sad lesson or note of death Mors sine morte finis sine fine defectus sine defectu quia mors vivit finis incipit deficere nescit defectus The death of the damned is a deathless death an endless end and undefiable defect For their death alwayes liveth and their end beginneth and their consumption lasteth is permanent and eternal And this death is especially meant in my Text The correspondency of this Member to that which follows makes it manifest all which shall suffice also for the second Doctrine For I can't now dilate or enlarge my self 1. Use This in the first place confutes that common errour of the Papists concerning venial sin whereas every sin is mortal For the Apostle speaks here very plainly The Wages of sin is death 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 And in that he saith it of all sins it may be said of every sin A quatenus ad omne valet consequentia is an undoubted truth of the Logicians from as to all the consequence is very good And our Apostle saith as sinner so worthy of death Rom. 5. And therefore every sin is mortal in it self and deserves even eternal death For I can give no more credit then Robert Bellarmine doth to the Popish Legend who professedly refutes those of his own side who give credit to the Legend which relates that by the prayers of S. Gregory the Soul of Trajan was delivered out of Hell
