Yet all these Anxieties and Terrors are but the beginning of Sorrows: for the full and terrible Recompenses of Sin shall follow the Eternal Judgment pronounced against the Wicked at the last Day. 'Tis true, the Sentence of the Law ⟨p. 62⟩is past against the Sinner in this present State, and Temporal Evils are the Effects of it; but that Sentence is revokable: at Death the Sentence is ratified by the Judg upon every impenitent Sinner; 'tis decisive of his State, and involves him under Punishment for ever: But the full Execution of Judgment shall not be till the public general Sentence pronounced by the everlasting Judg, before the whole World. It exceeds the compass of created Thoughts to understand fully the direful Effects of Sin in the Eternal State: For who knows the Power of God's Wrath? The Scripture represents the Punishment in Expressions, that may instruct the Mind, and terrify the Imagination: that may work upon the Principles of Reason and Sense, by which Men are naturally and strongly moved.
