There is a two fold anger, a stated anger, and occasional anger or temporal anger. Occasional and temporal anger, and so the Children of God may fall under his anger: but by their application to him in Christ that anger may be taken off again. But there is a •ate of anger, and that is with the wicked. And this thou art under, who dost live in unmortified sin. Thou art in a state of anger, in a state of wrath.
Second Con When the threats and menaces of Gods Word are against men, this is a sure evidence of his anger. You know we may discern the anger of men by their Rebukes, and threats, and the like. If the word of God be against thee, be sure the anger of God is against thee. Therefore consult the Scripture. If the Scripture do speak sadly of thy state, that is an undeniable evidence of Gods anger, Zeph. 2. 5. Woe to the inhabitants of the Sea coast, the word of the Lord is against you. O woe to them that the word of the Lord is against! ⟨p. 94⟩There is wrath from the Lord against that man. Therefore if the Lord do speak against thee, Make thy peace with speed. Do as Haman, when he saw the King rise up in hast: he stood up to make request for his life to the Queen. Est. 7, 7, So if thou dost find that there is evil intended against thee by thy sins, O fall down upon thy knees and make up thy peace.
