4. That their Glory shall be lesser (as his that improved the two Talents;) and ours ⟨p. 479⟩greater, (as his that improved the ten:) Besides many more differences.
Prop. XXVII. If all the Heathen be Damned, though their loss will be materially equal with ours, yet formally as a privation (for they were never in our capacity of Glory;) and their poena sensus, will not be near equal to ours either materially or formally. For their Consciences will never torment them for the refusal of Christ revealed, and Heaven offered to them, or any other sins which they were not capable of committing. Nay, if it were true that some teach, that they had no Gospel Mercy or Grace given or offered to them, nor any satisfaction ever made for them by Christ, then should they escape all the sorer punishment of the new Law, and never suffer at all for Abuse of that mercy, or rejecting a Redeemer, or any fruit of his satisfaction which he made for them. And this would be an easy Hell in comparison of theirs that refuse Christ offered them.
