Wrath. Now there is Rage also in the hearts of men against the people of God Why do the Heathen Rage Psal 2. They Rage And there is not only Rage in the hearts of the wicked against the people of God but such Rage as doth amount to Fury For as Rage is the height of Wrath so Fury is the height of Rage Now there is Fury in the hearts of men against the people of God In Dan. 3. 13. Then Nebuchadnezzar in his Rage and Fury commanded to bring Shadrach Meshach and Abednego and they brought these men before the King v. 19. Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of Fury Yea there is not only a Fury in the hearts of men against the people of God but there is a Hatred in their hearts against the Saints and people of God For as Fury is the height of Rage so Rage setled is Hatred Hatred is the worst of all 't is setled anger Wrath and Rage and Fury Now wicked men they do hate the Saints In Psal 24. 21. Evil shall slay the wicked and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate Yea saith David Psal 25. Consider mine Enemies for they are many and they hate me with cruel hatred v. 19. So that thus then we see in the general that there is a great deal of Anger and wrath in the hearts of men against the people of God Well but for the opening of this a little further 'T will be said what kind of Anger and Hatred is there in the hearts of men against the people of God And how comes it to pass that they should so hate and be so wrathfully displeased with the Saints and people of God that do them no hurt To give you some account of this First of all If you ask what kind of Anger and Hatred or Wrath there is in the hearts of men against the people of God I answer 1. It is a violent wrath and anger proud and violent men are risen up against me 2. As it is a proud and violent wrath or anger so it is a fraudulent and deceitful wrath Bloudy and deceitful men shall not live out half their dayes speaking of the Enemies of the People of God Their wrath is not only violent but there is a fraudulency that is joyned therewithal 3. As it is a deceitful and a fraudulent wrath and anger So it is a Mortal wrath and Anger that is in their hearts towards the people of God A devouring consuming and destroying wrath They eat up my people as they eat bread Psal 14. If the Lord had not bin with us they had swallowed us up quick Psal 124. And they shall kill you saith our Saviour Christ So that this wrath and anger that is in the hearts of wicked men It is a mortal deadly destroying consumeing and devouring wrath 4. As it is a mortal deadly destroying and consuming wrath So it is a Blaspheming wrath How long shall foolish men Blaspheme thy Name Rabshekah was angry and he did not only Blaspheme the people of God but God himself Where is now your God 5. As their wrath is a Blaspheming wrath so it is an unreasonable wrath Why do the Heathen rage Why Why they have no reason for it Why do the Heathen rage and the People imagine a vain thing 'T is a vain thing they have no reason for it The wrath that wicked men have against the people of God and their Anger it is most unreasonable 6. As it is an unreasonable wrath and anger so it is an insulting wrath and anger whereby they do insult over the poor people of God Psal 137. By the Rivers of Babylon we sate down yea we wept when we remembred Sion We hanged our Harps upon the Willows For there they that carryed us away Captive required of us a Song And they that wasted us required of us mirth saying Sing us one of the Songs of Sion insulting over them And so in Rev. 11. They will make merry and send gifts one to another rejoycing over the dead Witnesses 'T is an insulting wrath and anger that they are filled withal 7. And then further As it is an Insulting wrath and anger so the wrath and anger that is in the hearts of wicked men towards the Saints it is an universal wrath and anger For though they be angry with one person their anger doth not stay there but it riseth unto all the party of the Saints Hamans wrath began with Mordecai in Hest 3. 5. And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not nor did him reverence then was Haman full of wrath What then And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone For they had shewed him the people of Mordecai wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews So wicked men they begin it may be to be angry with one Saint but from that one their wrath and anger doth arise to them all 'T is an universal wrath against all the Seed of the Godly They take occasion from one and fall upon all 8. And then lastly As it is an universal wrath and anger so it is an implacable an unappeaseable never-dying and everlasting wrath Amos 1. 11. Thus saith the Lord For three transgressions of Edom and for four I will not turn away the punishment thereof because he did pursue his Brother with the Sword and did cast off all pity and his anger did tear perpetually and kept his wrath for ever It is an everlasting wrath wicked men will not be appeased This is a certain Rule The more there is of Religious end that any evil work hath the more lasting holding and continuing is that evil work Now in Joh. 16. 2. Our Saviour saith They shall put you out of the Synagogue yea the time cometh that whosoever killeth you will think that he doth God Service The Syriack reads it so That whosoever killeth you will think that he doth bring a Sacrifice unto God In Exod. 8. 20. saith the Lord by Moses unto Pharaoh Let my people go that they may serve me Now this is the errand that Moses hath Pharaoh answers it thus ver 25. And Pharaoh called for Moses and for Aaron and said go ye Sacrifice to your God in the Land Moses saith in the Name of the Lord Let my people go that they may serve me Pharaoh understands it concerning Sacrifice and therefore saith he go and offer Sacrifice unto your God And indeed the thing Sacrifice hath the same word The word that is used here in this 16th of John Whosoever killeth you will think that he doth 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Now in Ephes 5. the Sacrifice that Christ offered hath the same word Walk in love as Christ hath also loved us and hath given himself 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 An Offering and a Sacrifice So that as good Authors do observe What Christ saith here They shall think that they do God good Service 't is as much as if he should say They shall think when they kill you they shall
