Ephes. 5. 6. Let no man deceive you with vain words; for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience.
IN these words is contained an argument, whereby the Apostle labours to persuade all the faithful, that they may keep themselves from those sins, whereof he had made mention a little before. The Argument is drawn from an adjunct, that follows upon sin, to wit, the wrath of God, of which sins are not only the antecedents, but also meritory causes, certainly procuring it, as is intimated in these words; For these things: The connection of this effect with its cause, is limited and confirmed.
