He that despised Moses Law, died without mercy, under two or three Witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the Blood of the Govenant wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of Grace, Heb. 4. 1. 2. Let us therefore take heed lest a promise being left us of entering into his rest any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the Gospel preached as well as unto them: But the Gospel preached did not profit them, not being mixed with Faith in them that heard it. Heb. 2. 3. How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation, &c. Joh. 12. 47, 48. And if any▪ man hear my words and believe not, I judg him not: For I came not to judg the World, but to save the World. He that rejecteth me and receiveth not my words he hath one that judgeth him: The word that I have spoken the ⟨p. 271⟩same shall judg him at the last day. Luke 13. 39. How oft would I have gathered thy Children together as a Hen gathereth her Brood under her Wings, and ye would not. Behold your House is left unto you desolate, &c. Mar. 16. 15. Go ye into all the World and Preach the Gospel to every creature: He that believeth and is baptised shall be saved but he that believeth not, shall be damned. Act. 13. 38. 39, 40, 41. Be it known to you therefore Men and Brethren, that through this Man is preached unto you the forgiveness of Sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the Law of Moses. Beware therefore least that come, &c. Behold ye despisers and wonder, &c. Verse. 46. Seeing ye have put it from you, and judged your selves unworthy of Everlasting Life, &c. Mar. 18. 27, 32, 34, 35. Then the Lord of that Servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him and forgave him the debt, &c. Then his Lord, after that he had called him said unto him, O thou wicked Servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me, shouldst not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow Servant even as I had pity on thee; And his Lord was wroth and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you if ye from your Hearts forgive not every one his Brother their Trespasses.
