Casuistical morning-exercises the fourth volume /

Thus having made my way clear, I now proceed: And show, That Impenitency under the Gospel will expose men to the most intolerable Judgment in the day of Christ.

Thus having made my way clear, I now proceed: And shew, That Impenitency under the Gospel will expose men to the most intolerable Judgment in the day of Christ.

1. I shall prove that it will do so. 2. Why it will do so. 3. Wherein will this greater Intolerableness consist.

1. That it will do so, I need not prove it by any other Argument, than what we have in the Text. I say unto you, saith our Saviour. And again, v. 22. I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable, &c. And he adds his Amen and Verily to it, Matth. 10.15. Verily, I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tire and Zidon in the day of Judgment, &c. If we believe not that Christ hath said this, we are Infidels to the Gospel. If we think he hath said false, we are guilty of Blasphemy. Is it not he that saith, Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my Words shall not pass away, that saith this? Is it not he who is styled the Amen, the true and faithful witness, that hath said this? Is it not he who came down from Heaven, out of the bosom of God, and spake nothing but what he had seen and heard from his Father, that saith this? And therefore it may seem some reflection upon Christ's Veracity, and my Auditor's Infidelity and incredulity to bring any other proof.
