maine cause of Gods displeasure it needs no farther search then the guilt of our owne consciences and the iniquity of the times beyond measure sinnefull So that the wrath of God is reuealed from Heauen against the vngodlynesse and vnrighteonsnes of men Rom. 1.18 It s not this or that Coniunction of the Planets or the sundry Ecclipses of the Sunne and the Moone that wisards fondly immagine but the Lord of heauen and of heauenly creatures of the earth and all that therein is that so draweth the sword of his wrath that the very ayre and breath of our life shall be our poyson for the sinne of the Soule and where he is not preuented and that quickly with an earnest inuocatiou of his name and vnfained repentance of our sinnefull liues The very dreggs of his wrath will be powred out because men are setled in the lees and dreggs of their sinnes Let not men then looke to the right hand or the left and like the corrupted sonnes of Adam conceale their owne faults and lay them vpon others but let them turne their eyes inward and looke into the blots and staines of their owne vncleanenesse Search and trie their owne hearts and they shall soone finde the cause of the breach betweene God and Man The sinne certaine of the first man was the first breath and euer since as sinne hath increased and a bounded so hath God and man bene separated and diuided And howsoeuer in the aboundance of his merecy he hath such a regard of sinnefull man that he is reconciled in the attonement made in his onely Sonne and mans alone Sauiour yet such is the condition of his Iustice that as his mercy wants not abundant clemency so the same wants not due seuerity Nor can he endure the thing that is euill nor can his eyes that are pure eyes behold any thing that is vncleane in it selfe or by the blood of the vncleansed but still he pnnnisheth with iustice the sinnes of the wicked And though there bee no condemnation to them that are in Christ Iesus Rom 8.1 Yet there is correction due to such as liue after the flesh ond not after the spirit And though the blood of Christ were an Attonement sufficient for all our sinnes and by his death hee appeaseth his Fathers wrath and payd the prise of our Redemption yet that blood of his left no liberty to build our sinnes vpon his death for that is sucking of the blood of CHRIST to fast and turning the grace of God into wantonnesse For though God was reconciled vnto man by his Sonne yet that reconciliation neuer reached so farre as to make a peace betweene God and sinne True it is that great sinnes are forgiuen in the Attonement made betweene God and his Sonne in the penitent yet doth hee punnish euen small sinnes still in the sonnes of men that are impenitent and albeit his mercy doth alwayes flye and cry about his Throane yet it doth not so cry as that he can heare no other cry against vs. For the cry of our sinnes will goe vp as here it did and neuer fease crying in his eare for Iustice till they awake him as it were out of the sleepe of his long suffering and patience Abels blood will cry against Carne Gen. 4.10 Dauids sinne of Adultery and Murder will call for Iustire 2. Sam. 12. Gehesies corruption will draw on a Leprofie 2. Kings 5. And the very Stone will cry out of the wall of Oppression Hab. 2.11 So that howsoeuer for our comfort he hath an eare of mercy for crying sinners yet to restraine our corruption and to keepe vs in awe that we sinne not he hath also an eare of Iustice for crying sins and no euill doth at any time befall vson't it is the punnishment of some sinne and whereas God doth many times forbeare many and like Ionathans Bow shoots short of vs or on the right hand or the left or beyond vs yet that forbearance is no acquittance but makes his punnishment more grieuous when it comes For as it is impossible but the all-seeing eye of God should see the sinnes of the Sonnes of men so it is impossible that seeing in the end he should not punnish and though it be certaine sure that non nisi coactus percutit he neuer strickes but when he is vrged and then Castigat nolenter as Gregory Nazianzene saith Yet when hee is vrged and our sinnes force him therevnto he will punnish with a witnesse where men then haue made a couenant with Death and a league with Hell its high time to make an Attonement with God for if he once beginne without that he will surely make an end And if his wrath be kindled yea but a little Blessed are all they that put there trust in him Psal 2.12 But if a great deale then woe bee to all those that prouoked him His iudgements are not terriculamenta nutricum Collusions of Nurses to keepe children in awe but confusions of men abounding in sinne If the wrath of God fasten vpon vs but in this world we shall finde it like the Brand in Caines face that cannot be rnbd out like a botch or a blaine that all the Balme in Gilead cannot cure for its a fearefull thing to fall into the bandes of the angry God and if his wrath be once gone out its time to make hast For the word of his wrath in the course of the Scriptures is neuer vsed but in the full measure of iniquity and the full measure of his Iustice For till the sinnes of Israel came vnto prouocation and hardning of hearts he neuer sware in his wrath that they should not enter into his rest Psal 59. and the last verse It s the execution of Iustice in the highest degree which God himselfe testifieth Deut. 32.21 They haue prouoked me to anger with their vanities but I will moue them For fire is kindled in my wrath and shall burne vnto the bottome of Hell and shall consume the Earth with her increase I will send plagues and bestow my arrowes vpon them they shall be consumed with a bitter destruction In a word the terrour of Gods wrath is so terrible as no man can expresse it for who knoweth the power of his wrath Psal 90.11 Whereby we see how great a danger it is for men when his wrath is gone out against them I say when it is gone out For though it be wrath and the wrath of the Lord yet so long as it is suspended by the Omnipotency of his power or the aboundant grace of his mercy ouerruling his Iustice and so concealed from vs or at the least not gone out against vs the feare and the danger is the lesse But if it bee gone out then it s more then time to looke about For if the pillers of heauen as Iob saith tremble and quake at his reproofe Iob. 26.11 What shall Sinners on earth doe It s a great mercy of God that their is a suspention of his Iustice
