both these with that wrath peculiar to them for rejecting Christ so sufficiently so much and often plainly and powerfully proposed to and pressed upon them in the Preaching of the Gospel Heb. 2.2 3. 12.25 Wrath so great that to describe it Peter is put to the like artifice as the Painter who being to draw so mournfull a face as his Art could not reach to the exact limning of drew a shadow before it giving leave to mens fancies to help out and supply where his Art was defective and came short So the Apostle 1 Pet. 4.17 draws as 't were the Curtain of this interogation What shall be the end of them that obey not the Gospel of God before the hideous and deformed face of hell giving men leave to lose themselves as himself seems to be lost in the consideration of the thick darkness of it For as the love of God Eph. 3.19 so his wrath too passeth knowledg As neither eye hath seen nor ear heard neither have entred into the heart of man the good things which God hath prepar'd for them that love him None can conceive Heaven so heavenly as indeed they will find it who shall be received into those glorious Mansions So neither hath eye seen nor ear heard neither have entred into the heart of man the evil things which God hath prepar'd for those that do not love him and obey his Gospel None can conceive Hell so hellish as indeed they will find it when thrust into that utter darkness Now if the Lord should by this thunder clap please to awaken any among us out of their carnal security after Christ and Faith let them take this one since the time will give leave but for one special Direction Let them attend upon a Gospel-Ministry be much in hearing and meditating upon Gospel-Pomises Such must not think to bring faith to but suck it from a Promise The same Gospel-Promise that conveyes from God the nature of a Title to Faith conveyes also the grace of Faith unto men That saith the Apostle Rom. 10.8 is the Word of Faith which we preach not only as the object of Faith about which it is conversant or Precept of Faith by which it is commanded but also the Instrumental meanes of Faith by which it is conveyed 3. And lastly It speaks to those that by Gospel-Faith have closed with Christ First It speaks comfort to such Your Faith though in relation to the Precept as a rule of duty a legally imperfect obedience is in relation to the Promise as a rule of Judgment a Gospel perfect Title your perfect Title to the righteousness of Christ your perfect Title to Heaven and Glory There is no condemnation to you being in him Rom. 8.1 Shall be none to you believing on him Joh. 5.24 He had nothing of his own to be condemned for nothing of his own to be acquitted from He was condemned to pay your debt as your surety and therefore you cannot be condemned too He was acquitted from it being paid as your Surety and therefore you cannot but be acquitted ●oo He appear'd the first time with your sinne to h●s condemnation He shall appear the second t●me without your sinne unto your salvat●on Heb. 9 28. When he shall be revealed in flaming fi●e taking vengeance on them that know not God and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus ●hrist He shall come to be glorified in his Saints and to be admired in all you that Believe 2 Thes. 1.8 10. When others trembling and confounded shall hear Depart ye cursed into ●verlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels according to the Threatning you rejoycing and exceeding glad shall hear Come ye blessed of my Father inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world according to P●omise Secondly It bespeaks obedience from such Too too many that pretend highest to Faith and Christ do not so Speak and so Do but carry it as if they had one Law for the Rule of their obedience and expected another for the Rule of Gods Judgment nay so divide in their obedience as if they had one Law to speak and an other to do by one Rule of Talking and anoth●r Rule of Wa●king talk of the light of grace but walk below the light of nature Speak according to the Gospel the Law of Faith but do after their own hearts lust Do you so Speak and so Do and so think you ought So to Speak and so to Do as those that shall be Judged c. Think not that Christ hath redeem'd you from the guilt of your sinnes that ye should wallow in the filth and serve in the power of your sinnes Think not that those sins should be with you upon the Th●one that were with Christ upon the Cross That those sins should be matter of carnal and sensual pleasure and satisfaction to you that were of so much Soul-trouble and sorrow unto Jesus Christ when but imputed to him when really inherent in your Souls Think ye ought no longer study how to gratifie and how to satisfie but how to mortifie and how to crucifie them Think nothing less then the very death of those sinnes ought to satisfie you which nothing less would satisfie and satisfie for than the precious death of the Lord Jesus Christ Think and know that same God by that same Law whereby he hath requir'd your faith hath requir'd your obedience as fruit and evidence of your ●aith that you should justifie that faith by your works which justifieth you without your works That being by f●i●h Heirs of the Kingdom ye ought by obedience to walk as Hei●s and towards the Possession of it Here are many can tell you ye must go a right way to take Possession according to a right Title So Speak ye c. Walk every way worthy your freedom from the thr●atned Penalties and your title to the promised rewards of this Law I had prepar●d nothing for my Brethren of the Ministry conceiving none would have been present on this preparation day to the Sabboth But seeing beyond expectation the faces of so very many here I shall by Gods assistance adventure a word to them also If it be so that the same Law of God is the rule of mans obedience and Gods Judgment Let Ministers preach it as such Some on the one hand preach the Law of God as the Rule of mans obedience too little and too much as the rule of Gods Judgment And even here some the promised rewards of it the bliss and happiness of Heaven and glory too much and the threatned punishments of it the misery and wretchedness of death and hell too little Others the punishments threatned too much and the rewards promised too little Some on the other hand preach the Law of God too little as the rule of Gods Judgment and too much as the rule of mans obedience And here some Moral Precepts too much and Gospel-Positives too little and thereupon hear legall
