what shall the ende be of them that obey not the Gospell of God and if the righteous scarce be saued where shall the vngodly and sinner appeare 1. Pet. 4.17.18 Also 2. Thes 2.8.9.10.11.12 The Apostle Paul speaking of the wicked man that shall be reuealed saith The Lord shall consume him with the spirit of his mouth and because that wicked mans comming is by the working of Satan with all power and signes and lying wonders and in all deceiueablenesse of vnrighteousnes among them that perish he sheweth because they receiued not the loue of the truth that they might be saued Therefore God shall send them strong delusion that they should belieue lies that all they might be damned which belieued not the truth but had pleasure in vnrighteousnesse Many examples may be produced out of the Scriptures to proue and declare the iudgement of God against the wicked will be terrible and fearefull at the day of his second comming and that Hell is prepared from the beginning for the Deuill and his Angels and all wicked persons One more onely shall suffice to shew the Description of Hell that these wicked blasphemers all others may be affrighted in their consciences and conuert and be saued Isa 30.33 The Prophet saith that Tophet is prepared of olde that is Hell It is euen prepared for the King he hath made it deepe and large the burning thereof is fire and much wood the breath of the Lord like a Riuer of brimstone doth kindle it These are Tabacconists that for this turne Did whil'st they liu'd before-hand learne to burne These Tabacconists are those blaspheme's spoken of before and such as dispise the word of truth and the Gospell of Christ Iesus whose wickednesse is said to burne as fire whilest they liue Isa 9.18.19 For wickednesse burneth as a fire it deuoureth the bryars and the thornes and will kindle in the thick places of the Forrest and they shall mount vp like the lifting vp of smoake By the wrath of the Lord of Hoasts shall the Land be darkened the people shall be as the meate of the fire 8. Then suddenly he snatcht me vp and flew Vntill he came vnto a thick-set Wood Where trees of all sorts many thousands grew And likewise shrubs innumerable stood And looke how many trees and shrubs there were So many seuerall fruits they all did beare Heere is represented vnto our eies the confused mixture of opinions and Sects in Religion of Amsterdam a Towne within the 17. Prouinces where it is certainely known that there be more varieties of Doctrines then in any one place of the World as namely Protestants Papists Atheists Anabaptists Brownists Arians the Familie of Loue and such like and I thinke some of no Religion at all wherefore the place is compared to a Wood the people to Trees and their Sects to fruits which may fitly be said to be of seuerall kindes in respect of the difference of opinions Euery tree is knowne by his fruit whether it be good or euill Math. 12.33 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth good things and an euill man out of an euill treasure bringeth forth euill things Math. 12.35 9. Some were like Apples but were Crabs in tast And in the eating had but sower digestion This may be vnderstood of the fruits of Mans inuentions which carrie onely a similitude of goodnesse but are bad in themselues as the Crab is like to an Apple but is lesser and far worse in taste Such is the hypocrisie of the Brownists whose digestion is sower that is their punishment certeinely will be very grieuous vpon themselues Seeing that the earth which sinneth not shall be made wast because of their wickednesse as in Micah 7.13 Notwithstanding the Land shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein and for the fruits of their inuentions Some were as bitter as the Oaken Mast More fit for swine then any mans refection These are the fruits of the flesh which in many things are brutish Ro. 7.18 I know saith the Apostle Paul that in me that is in my flesh dwelleth no good thing for to will is present with me but I finde no meanes to performe that which is good Gal. 5.19 The workes of the flesh are manifest which are Adulterie Fornication Vncleannesse Wantonnesse Idolatrie Witchcraft Hatred Debate Emulations Wrath Contentions Seditions Heresies Enuie Murders Drunkennesse Gluttonie and such like To all these euery man is naturally prone but two of these may be appropriated to the fruits of the Papists to wit Fornication and Idolatrie the one being tolerated the other allowed by their Religion so that it seemeth they neuer learned this lesson of Saint Paul or else they scorne to allow his Doctrine or else it is out of their booke But let them know as Saint Paul saith That such shal not inherit the kingdome of God Some were delicious sweete and perfect good Such as at first in Edens Garden stood These are the fruits of Righteousnesse and of the Spirit and may be said to proceed from a true zealous Protestant Gal. 5.22 The fruit of the Spirit is Loue Ioy Peace Long-suffering Gentlenesse Goodnesse Faith Meekenesse and Temperance 10. But as that fruit was good and lushious The scituation of the Trees was bad For none of them by meanes of vnder-bushes Sufficient roome to sprout their branches had So that for want of elbow-roome a Tree Not halfe so fruitfull was as else might bee Many times it fals out that the godly are hindred by the wicked that they cannot shew their good workes in such measure as they would For the profession of the true Gospell of Iesus Christ is oftentimes ecclipsed in them by the darke cloudy meetings and mixture of Heresies of others among whom they liue so that it doth not shine with his perfect light especially among such as either refuse to heare the Gospell of Christ at all or else if they heare it they will peruert it and make the construction thereof according to their owne fantasies So these vngodly people are compared to vnder-bushes that hinder the propagation of Gods holy word and the growing and prospering of the fruits of the Spirit And they are like to the Pharises that neither would belieue the Gospell themselues nor suffer others to belieue Math. 23.13 Add like to the Iewes spoken of in the 17. Chapter of the Acts of the Apostles where Paul being in Thessalonica as his manner was went into their Synagogue opening and alleadging that Christ must haue suffered and risen againe from the dead and some belieued but the Iewes which belieued not tooke vnto them certaine vagabonds and wicked fellowes and made a tumult in the Citie and would haue brought Paul out to the people 11.
