1. The unclean. These are ever reckoned among the goats, and have their names, whoever be left out, in all the fore-mentioned catalogues, Eph. 5. 5. Rev. 21. 8. 1. Cor. 5. 9, 10. 2. The Covetous. These are ever branded for idolaters, and the doors of the Kingdom are shut against them by name. Eph. 5. 5. Col. 3. 5. 1 Cor. 6. 9, 10. 3. Drunkards, not only such as drink away their reason, but withal, yea above all, such as are too strong for strong drink. The Lord fills his mouth with woes against these, and declares them to have no inheritance in the Kingdom of God, Isaiah. 5. 11, 12, 22. Gal. 5. 21. 4. Liars. The God that cannot lie hath told them, that there is no place for them in his Kingdom, no entrance into his hill; but their portion is with the Father of lies (whose children they are) in the lake of burnings, Psal. 15. ⟨p. 90⟩1, 2, Rev. 21. 8, 27.
