dee not see O let vs be carefull to preuent this fearefull iudgement rather let vs be hewne downe by crosses affliction and death then by hardnesse of heart let vs pray vnto the Lord daily to mollifie and soften our heart Thirdly that the wicked at the day of iudgement shall by a perpetuall separation be hewne downe from the fellowship of the holy Trinitie blessed Angels and glorified Saints which our Sauiour himselfe confirmeth Mat. 24. Goe yee cursed of my father vnto euerlasting fire prepared for the Diuell and his Angels their hewing downe by the word in this world precedes their hewing downe at the day of iudgement that proceedeth from this for such as are here hewed downe by the ministery of the word giuen ouer to a reprobate minde and an hard heart shall then by finall separation be hewed downe from the presence of God This letteth vs see the miscrable estate of wicked men both in this life and in the life to come here they are hewed downe by the ministrie of Gods word then they shall be perpetually hewed downe by the sentence of the iust Iudge Goe ye cursed of my father c. This finall hewing downe shall not befall vnto all sinners but onely to such as are impenitent many may in this world be hewed downe by temporall iudgements which repenting shall not be hewed downe in this last iudgemknt To this purpose the Apostle speaketh of the Iewes And they also if they abide not still in vnbeliefe shall be grafted in Rom. 11.23 for God is able to graffe them in againe Such as belong vnto God may for a time fall away as all such doe totally which are outwardly planted and not inwardly and so by assliction hewed downe but they doe rise againe and by repentance blot out their fall and therefore shall escape this finall hewing downe For the second he will cast them into the fire by fire in this place we may vnderstand the iudgement which at the great day shall be executed vpon wicked men the extreame and most sharpe paine appointed for them in hell concerning which these sixe things are to be considered First that it is fearefull Secondly that it is painefull Thirdly that it is vnspeakeably painfull Fourthly that it is continuall Fiftly that is vniuersall Sixtly that it is eternall other questions as being more curious then profitable I willingly passe by such as whether it be a materiall fire how it is maintained c. First I say it is fearefull and that if either wee consider the place where it is Hell for what it is to torment wicked men how vnpleasant it is not for light heat or comfort as other fire is but to torment and terrifie accompanied with diuers other torments vtter darknesse the worme that neuer dieth weeping and gnashing of teeth which shall neuer be quenched fearefull was that destruction of Sodom but more fearefull this that did end this shall neuer Secondly it is painfull and therefore called the Lake burning with fire and brimstone the extremitie whereof both in body and soule the heart of man is not able to conceiue a taste where of we may haue in the rich Glutton Thirdly it is vnspeakeable as Paul was not able to expresse the ioyes of heauen no more can wee the extremitie of this fire Fourthly Mat. 3.12 it is continuall alwayes without any intermission which doth so much the more agrauate the misery of the wicked this fire cannot be put out Fiftly it is vniuersall both vpon soule and body and conscience both outwardly and inwardly Sixtly Mat. 25.41 it is eternall if it would once cease though after many thousand yeares there were some hope but it shall continue world without end for euermore from whence there is no redemption Hence we may learne that seeing this fire is so fearefull so painfull so vnspeakable so continuall so vniuersall so perpetuall and the wicked not repenting them of their sinnes shall be without doubt cast thereinto euen in time to forsake our sinnes and to turne vnto the Lord by true and vnfained repentance bring forth good fruit where by we may escape so terrible a torment the fire of hell O let vs feare and tremble when we heare or read hereof yea let vs alwayes haue it before our eyes that wee may be withdrawne from sinne least sinning and not repenting wee become partakers thereof O wicked man why doest thou runne on in sinne why art thou so carelesse of thine owne welfare wouldest thou burne willingly thinkest thou that thou canst abide the fire no certainly thou canst not if thou canst not abide that the least member of thy body should abide in the fire but for a little time how shalt thou be able to abide the fire of hell both in body and soule eternally Concerning the second when this Execution shall be accomplished although that chiefly it shall be executed in the great and generall day of iudgement yet notwithstanding it doth begin euen in this life as then they shall be finally hewne downe and cast into the fire of bell so also here they shall be hewne downe by the ministry of Gods word and feele this fire begunne in them their Conscience accusing them torments affrighting them they themselues driuen vnto desperation Hence wee may perceiue the miserable estate of wicked men both here and hereafter in this life and in that which is to come Whereby we may learne in time to become obedient vnto the Preaching of Gods Word not despising the gracious offers of mercie for certainly to conclude with the words of my Text Euery tree which bringeth not forth good fruit shall be hewne downe and cast rute the fire FINIS THE VOYCE OF THE CRYER Containing A forcible Inuitation to REPENTANCE By Alexander Vdny B. in Diuinity and Chaplaine to his Maiestie in Ordinary and Minister of the Gospell at Hauking in Kent Lament 1.20 Abroad the sword bereaueth at home there is as death Chrysost in Serm.
