everlasting_a punishment_n to_o the_o sin_n of_o men._n in_o dan._n 12._o 2._o the_o angel_n tell_v that_o prophet_n that_o some_o shall_v rise_v again_o from_o the_o dead_a to_o everlasting_a life_n and_o some_o to_o shame_n and_o everlasting_a contempt_n our_o saviour_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o sentence_n upon_o wicked_a man_n in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n shall_v be_v depart_v from_o i_o you_o curse_v into_o everlasting_a fire_n prepare_v for_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n matth._n 25._o 41._o and_o in_o the_o last_o verse_n of_o the_o chapter_n he_o say_v of_o they_o these_o shall_v go_v away_o into_o everlasting_a punishment_n the_o apostle_n in_o 2_o thess_n 1._o ●_o call_v the_o punishment_n intend_v for_o such_o everlasting_a destruction_n and_o since_o in_o these_o and_o the_o like_a scripture_n where_o the_o fate_n of_o good_a and_o bad_a man_n be_v speak_v of_o the_o same_o phrase_n and_o expression_n be_v make_v use_n of_o concern_v the_o duration_n both_o of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o we_o have_v as_o much_o reason_n to_o fear_v that_o the_o one_o will_v be_v eternal_a as_o to_o hope_v that_o the_o other_o will_v be_v so_o since_o the_o just_a and_o immutable_a god_n appear_v plain_o to_o have_v declare_v that_o he_o will_v thus_o punish_v the_o sin_n of_o man_n it_o be_v the_o great_a and_o most_o foolish_a presumption_n to_o expect_v the_o contrary_n especial_o if_o we_o consider_v too_o that_o which_o have_v be_v set_v before_o we_o concern_v the_o evil_a and_o provocation_n of_o sin_n that_o it_o be_v the_o affront_n of_o a_o infinite_a majesty_n contempt_n of_o our_o maker_n rebellion_n against_o our_o sovereign_n and_o ingratitude_n to_o a_o friend_n that_o it_o have_v nothing_o upon_o it_o of_o any_o impression_n of_o any_o attribute_n of_o god_n but_o be_v the_o most_o unlike_a the_o most_o contrary_a thing_n to_o he_o in_o the_o world_n upon_o these_o account_n sure_a we_o may_v easy_o believe_v that_o he_o have_v a_o infinite_a hatred_n and_o displeasure_n against_o it_o and_o that_o since_o that_o displeasure_n can_v be_v infinite_o exercise_v upon_o a_o finite_a be_v in_o the_o intenseness_n of_o his_o suffering_n it_o be_v but_o just_a in_o god_n to_o resolve_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v eternal_o continue_v and_o though_o all_o sin_n be_v not_o equal_a that_o yet_o the_o punishment_n of_o all_o shall_v be_v of_o the_o same_o duration_n because_o the_o wise_a justice_n of_o god_n can_v make_v a_o difference_n between_o several_a sinner_n in_o the_o different_a degree_n and_o intenseness_n of_o their_o suffering_n beside_o though_o the_o act_n of_o a_o sin_n be_v short_a and_o of_o but_o a_o moment_n duration_n yet_o the_o guilt_n of_o it_o be_v a_o remain_v and_o abide_v thing_n when_o once_o a_o sinful_a act_n be_v commit_v it_o remain_v do_v and_o can_v be_v recall_v and_o the_o sinner_n remain_v guilty_a for_o ever_o unless_o he_o obtain_v his_o pardon_n by_o timely_a repentance_n and_o if_o repentance_n and_o the_o benefit_n of_o it_o be_v allow_v in_o hell_n that_o state_n can_v not_o be_v call_v death_n and_o destruction_n as_o the_o scripture_n usual_o name_v it_o but_o to_o conclude_v this_o particular_a let_v we_o consider_v that_o god_n have_v threaten_v everlasting_a punishment_n in_o vain_a be_v a_o great_a provocation_n to_o he_o to_o inflict_v it_o upon_o those_o that_o will_v not_o fear_v and_o avoid_v it_o the_o threaten_a be_v a_o fair_a warning_n to_o mankind_n and_o a_o mean_n fit_a and_o proper_a to_o make_v they_o avoid_v the_o evil._n the_o righteous_a god_n do_v not_o betray_v man_n into_o misery_n he_o have_v tell_v they_o the_o worst_a that_o shall_v be_v the_o consequent_a of_o their_o sin_n and_o shall_v he_o after_o all_o think_v this_o punishment_n too_o great_a to_o be_v inflict_v when_o man_n do_v not_o think_v it_o great_a enough_o to_o be_v fear_v man_n choose_v the_o vain_a pleasure_n of_o sin_n which_o be_v but_o for_o a_o season_n with_o the_o eternal_a torment_n that_o follow_v rather_o than_o a_o life_n of_o holiness_n and_o everlasting_a happiness_n and_o shall_v they_o not_o have_v then_o their_o own_o choice_n be_v there_o any_o wrong_n do_v they_o or_o have_v they_o hard_a measure_n when_o they_o be_v not_o at_o all_o impose_v upon_o by_o god_n and_o have_v but_o what_o they_o close_a application_n it_o be_v time_n now_o that_o i_o suggest_v what_o use_n we_o shall_v make_v of_o these_o thing_n which_o i_o shall_v do_v brief_o and_o conclude_v 1._o let_v we_o take_v heed_n to_o our_o way_n and_o be_v very_o watchful_a over_o ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v avoid_v all_o that_o be_v sinful_a it_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v our_o great_a concern_n and_o care_n that_o which_o shall_v mingle_v itself_o with_o every_o other_o concern_v and_o our_o constant_a endeavour_n that_o we_o cease_v from_o evil_a and_o do_v good_a it_o be_v certain_o true_a what_o solomon_n say_v prov._n 28._o 14._o happy_a be_v the_o man_n that_o fear_v always_o it_o be_v a_o very_a wise_a and_o happy_a thing_n to_o be_v always_o possess_v with_o a_o prudent_a care_n not_o to_o offend_v god_n who_o have_v all_o our_o interest_n both_o in_o this_o world_n and_o the_o next_o at_o his_o disposal_n who_o displeasure_n can_v make_v we_o miserable_a for_o ever_o and_o in_o who_o favour_n be_v life_n everlasting_a it_o be_v our_o wisdom_n and_o happiness_n to_o take_v care_n that_o we_o may_v avoid_v so_o vile_a and_o so_o ill_a a_o thing_n as_o sin_n that_o which_o will_v so_o debase_v and_o pollute_v and_o disparage_v we_o to_o avoid_v that_o which_o our_o own_o conscience_n must_v often_o upbraid_v we_o for_o what_o we_o must_v hereafter_o call_v ourselves_o fool_n for_o and_o will_v make_v we_o vile_a in_o our_o own_o eye_n when_o ever_o we_o come_v to_o understand_v and_o consider_v it_o 2._o what_o evil_a we_o have_v be_v guilty_a of_o for_o want_v of_o this_o care_n let_v we_o as_o it_o be_v undo_v it_o again_o by_o a_o hearty_a repentance_n shall_v we_o not_o mourn_v for_o so_o vile_a a_o thing_n as_o sin_n for_o have_v contract_v the_o great_a and_o most_o shameful_a disparagement_n for_o our_o have_v forfeit_v the_o everlasting_a favour_n of_o god_n and_o for_o have_v undo_v ourselves_o and_o may_v we_o not_o just_o hate_v that_o which_o have_v so_o much_o ill_a and_o mischief_n in_o it_o as_o this_o may_v we_o not_o just_o hate_v what_o god_n abhor_v shall_v we_o not_o show_v our_o love_n to_o he_o by_o hate_v what_o be_v so_o offensive_a and_o displease_v to_o he_o and_o then_o if_o we_o do_v sincere_o abhor_v the_o ill_n we_o have_v do_v we_o must_v forsake_v they_o for_o the_o future_a a_o man_n can_v never_o content_o go_v on_o in_o the_o course_n that_o he_o himself_o do_v abhor_v and_o let_v we_o consider_v to_o persuade_v ourselves_o to_o this_o repentance_n the_o encouragement_n that_o god_n have_v kind_o give_v we_o to_o practise_v it_o he_o have_v give_v we_o a_o promise_n of_o pardon_n if_o we_o will_v repent_v though_o our_o sin_n be_v so_o high_o displease_v to_o he_o though_o he_o so_o just_o hate_v they_o yet_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n will_v forgive_v even_o the_o great_a and_o the_o great_a number_n of_o they_o upon_o our_o unfeigned_a repentance_n let_v the_o wicked_a forsake_v his_o way_n and_o the_o unrighteous_a man_n his_o thought_n and_o let_v he_o return_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o to_o our_o god_n for_o he_o will_v abundant_o pardon_v isa_n 55._o 7._o 3._o last_o since_o we_o fly_v from_o so_o great_a and_o mischievous_a a_o evil_a as_o sin_n be_v and_o betake_v ourselves_o to_o so_o much_o good_a and_o happiness_n as_o infinite_a mercy_n bestow_v when_o we_o repent_v and_o return_v to_o our_o duty_n we_o shall_v as_o much_o as_o can_v be_v hasten_v our_o repentance_n we_o ought_v in_o reason_n to_o admit_v of_o no_o delay_n in_o such_o a_o matter_n if_o this_o have_v be_v at_o all_o delay_v by_o any_o it_o be_v too_o much_o why_o shall_v any_o man_n resolve_v that_o he_o will_v be_v vile_a and_o base_a that_o he_o will_v be_v odious_a to_o god_n and_o obnoxious_a to_o his_o wrath_n but_o a_o little_a long_o this_o be_v a_o state_n not_o to_o be_v endure_v at_o all_o who_o can_v tell_v how_o long_o the_o divine_a vengeance_n will_v

almighty_a can_v we_o too_o soon_o cease_v to_o gather_v sorrow_n to_o heap_v up_o wrath_n to_o provide_v woe_n and_o misery_n for_o ourselves_o or_o can_v we_o too_o soon_o live_v as_o best_o
