But what is the detestation of men, the rejection of Angels, the derision of devils, to the loss of my Fathers love? This Coram Patre, shall strike thee with horror Matth. 21. Ver. 37. When the Father sent CHRIST, he said, Sure they will reverence my Son: but they conspired, This is the heir, come, let us kill him. Reject them ô Father, for they rejected me. Away must their faces be turned, from joy, from light, from blessedness; to wander in horrid darkness, to lie bound in the chains of torment; where unquenchable fire, and unsatiable death shall not be denied them, that denied everlasting life. For the time when; In heaven: when they knock with hope to be let in at that gate, when they shall see millions of confessors enter in and be made welcome: In heaven I will deny them, that is in the day of judgement. On earth they spake their pleasures, their tongues were their own, they denied me without control: but when I have denied them in heaven, and they have acknowledged me in hell, then shall they gnaw those tongues for pain, and wish that they had been borne dumb, never to have denied him that bought them, Revel. 16.10.
