2. Whosoever rejecteth or neglecteth this Grace, and so finally breaketh the New Covenant, must also bear the curse or penalty thereof, besides all the former, which will be a far greater curse, even as the blessings of this Covenant are far greater then those of the first. It was a heavy punishment to be cast out of Paradise, and from the presence and favour of God, and to be cursed by him, and subjected to eternal death, and all Creatures below cursed for our sakes, to bear all those curses and ⟨p. 86⟩plagues threatened in Deut. 27. and 28. and to have the wrath of God smoke against us, &c. as Deut. 29 20. But of how much sorer punishment shall he be thought worthy, that doth tread under foot the blood of this Covenant, and do despite to the spirit of Grace! Heb. 10. 28, 29. It is true, that for all other sins, the wrath of God cometh upon the Children of Disobedience (or Unpersuadableness) that is, on them that will not be persuaded to obey the Lord Christ, Epha 5. 6. But it is on no other with us; for this is the condemnation that light is come into the world, and men love darkness rather then light, John 1. 19.
