that_o prospect_n which_o in_o the_o late_a part_n of_o this_o chapter_n he_o give_v we_o of_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o great_a day_n namely_o that_o at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n the_o

and_o shall_v be_v separate_v into_o two_o great_a company_n the_o righteous_a and_o the_o wicked_a who_o shall_v stand_v the_o one_o on_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o the_o other_o on_o the_o left_a of_o this_o great_a judge_n who_o shall_v pronounce_v sentence_n several_o upon_o they_o according_a to_o the_o action_n which_o they_o have_v do_v in_o this_o life_n the_o righteous_a shall_v be_v

punishment_n but_o the_o righteous_a into_o life_n eternal_a the_o word_n be_v plain_a and_o need_v no_o explication_n for_o i_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o every_o one_o at_o first_o hear_v of_o they_o do_v clear_o apprehend_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o righteous_a and_o the_o wicked_a and_o between_o endless_a happiness_n and_o misery_n but_o although_o these_o word_n be_v so_o very_o easy_a to_o be_v understand_v they_o can_v never_o be_v too_o much_o consider_v by_o we_o the_o scope_n and_o design_n of_o they_o be_v to_o represent_v to_o we_o the_o different_a fate_n of_o good_a and_o bad_a man_n in_o another_o world_n and_o that_o their_o end_n there_o will_v be_v as_o different_a as_o their_o way_n and_o do_n have_v be_v here_o in_o this_o world_n the_o serious_a consideration_n whereof_o be_v the_o great_a discouragement_n to_o sin_n and_o the_o most_o powerful_a argument_n in_o the_o world_n to_o a_o holy_a and_o virtuous_a life_n because_o it_o be_v a_o argument_n take_v from_o our_o great_a and_o most_o last_a interest_n our_o happiness_n or_o our_o misery_n to_o all_o eternity_n a_o concernment_n of_o that_o vast_a consequence_n that_o it_o must_v be_v the_o great_a stupidity_n and_o folly_n in_o the_o world_n for_o any_o man_n to_o neglect_v it_o this_o eternal_a state_n of_o reward_n and_o punishment_n in_o another_o world_n our_o bless_a saviour_n have_v clear_o reveal_v to_o we_o and_o as_o to_o one_o part_n of_o it_o viz._n that_o good_a man_n shall_v be_v eternal_o happy_a in_o another_o world_n every_o one_o glad_o admit_v it_o but_o many_o be_v loath_a that_o the_o other_o part_n shall_v be_v true_a concern_v the_o eternal_a punishment_n of_o wicked_a man_n and_o therefore_o they_o pretend_v that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n to_o punish_v temporary_a crime_n with_o eternal_a torment_n because_o justice_n always_o observe_v a_o proportion_n between_o offence_n and_o punishment_n but_o between_o temporary_a sin_n and_o eternal_a punishment_n there_o be_v no_o proportion_n and_o as_o this_o seem_v hard_a to_o be_v reconcile_v with_o justice_n so_o much_o more_o with_o that_o excess_n of_o goodness_n which_o we_o suppose_v to_o be_v in_o god_n and_o therefore_o they_o say_v that_o though_o god_n seem_v to_o have_v declare_v that_o impenitent_a sinner_n shall_v be_v everlasting_o punish_v yet_o these_o declaration_n of_o scripture_n be_v so_o to_o be_v mollify_v and_o understand_v as_o that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o reconcile_v they_o with_o the_o essential_a perfection_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n this_o be_v the_o full_a force_n and_o strength_n of_o the_o objection_n and_o my_o work_n at_o this_o time_n shall_v be_v to_o clear_v if_o i_o can_v this_o difficult_a point_n and_o that_o for_o these_o two_o reason_n first_o for_o the_o vindication_n of_o the_o divine_a justice_n and_o goodness_n that_o god_n may_v be_v justify_v in_o his_o say_n and_o appear_v righteous_a when_o he_o judge_v and_o second_o because_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o threaten_n of_o god_n in_o their_o utmost_a extent_n be_v of_o so_o great_a moment_n to_o a_o good_a life_n and_o so_o great_a a_o discouragement_n to_o sin_n for_o the_o sting_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o terror_n of_o eternal_a punishment_n and_o if_o man_n be_v once_o set_v free_a from_o the_o fear_n and_o belief_n of_o this_o the_o most_o powerful_a restraint_n from_o sin_n will_v be_v take_v away_o so_o that_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o objection_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v these_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o the_o eternal_a punishment_n of_o wicked_a man_n in_o another_o world_n be_v plain_o threaten_v in_o scripture_n second_o that_o this_o be_v not_o inconsistent_a either_o with_o the_o justice_n or_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n first_o that_o the_o eternal_a punishment_n of_o wicked_a man_n in_o another_o world_n be_v plain_o threaten_v in_o scripture_n namely_o in_o these_o follow_a text_n matth._n 18._o 8._o it_o be_v better_a for_o thou_o to_o enter_v into_o life_n halt_v and_o maim_a than_o have_v two_o hand_n or_o two_o foot_n to_o be_v cast_v into_o everlasting_a fire_n and_o matth._n 25._o 41._o depart_v you_o curse_v into_o everlasting_a fire_n prepare_v for_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o angel_n and_o here_o in_o the_o text_n these_o that_o be_v the_o wicked_a shall_v go_v away_o into_o everlasting_a punishment_n and_o mark_v 9_o it_o be_v there_o three_o several_a time_n with_o great_a vehemency_n repeat_v by_o our_o saviour_n where_o their_o worm_n die_v not_o and_o the_o fire_n be_v not_o quench_v and_o 2_o thess._n 1._o 9_o speak_v of_o they_o that_o know_v not_o god_n and_o obey_v not_o the_o gospel_n of_o his_o son_n it_o be_v say_v of_o they_o who_o shall_v be_v punish_v with_o everlasting_a destruction_n i_o know_v very_o well_o that_o great_a endeavour_n have_v be_v use_v to_o avoid_v the_o force_n of_o these_o text_n by_o show_v that_o the_o word_n for_o ever_o and_o everlasting_a be_v frequent_o use_v in_o scripture_n in_o a_o more_o limit_a sense_n only_o for_o a_o long_a duration_n and_o continuance_n thus_o for_o ever_o do_v very_o often_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n only_o signify_v for_o a_o long_a time_n and_o till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o jewish_a dispensation_n and_o in_o the_o epistle_n of_o st._n judas_n verse_n seven_o the_o city_n of_o sodom_n and_o gomorrah_n be_v say_v to_o be_v set_v forth_o for_o a_o example_n suffer_v the_o vengeance_n of_o eternal_a fire_n that_o be_v of_o a_o fire_n that_o be_v not_o extinguish_v till_o those_o city_n be_v utter_o consume_v and_o therefore_o to_o clear_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o forementioned_a text_n first_o i_o shall_v ready_o grant_v that_o the_o word_n for_o ever_o and_o everlasting_a do_v not_o always_o in_o scripture_n signify_v a_o endless_a duration_n and_o that_o this_o be_v sufficient_o prove_v by_o the_o instance_n allege_v to_o this_o purpose_n but_o then_o second_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v on_o the_o other_o hand_n that_o these_o word_n be_v often_o in_o scripture_n use_v in_o a_o large_a sense_n and_o so_o as_o necessary_o to_o signify_v a_o interminable_a and_o endless_a duration_n as_o where_o eternity_n be_v attribute_v to_o god_n and_o he_o be_v say_v to_o live_v for_o ever_o and_o ever_o and_o where_o eternal_a happiness_n be_v another_o world_n be_v promise_v to_o good_a man_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v for_o ever_o with_o the_o lord_n now_o the_o very_a same_o word_n and_o expression_n be_v use_v concern_v the_o punishment_n of_o wicked_a man_n in_o another_o life_n and_o there_o be_v great_a reason_n why_o we_o shall_v understand_v they_o in_o the_o same_o extent_n both_o because_o if_o
