Nay, not only damned, but the sorest damnation of all; the deepest Cellars of Hell, the lowest Vaults of Hell are reserved for such, who are Unbelievers now under the Gospel. — This is condemnation, (that is, the sorest condemnation) That Light is come into the World: (that a Christ is tendered to you, a Christ is offered to you) and men love darkness rather than light: yet men will not believe, John 3.19.
Nay, not only damned, but the sorest damnation of all; the deepest Cellars of Hell, the lowest Vaults of Hell are reserved for such, who are Unbeleevers now under the Gospel. — This is condemnation, (that is, the sorest condemnation) That Light is come into the VVorld: (that a Christ is tendred to you, a Christ is offered to you) and men love darkness rather than light: yet men will not beleeve, John 3.19.
There is no fall into Hell, like such an one as is taken at a stumble at Christ: No damnation like that, which is pronounced in the Court of Mercy. An Unbeliever is condemned in the Court of Mercy. And when Mercy it self condemns, as it shows the offence to be heinous: so it makes the condemnation the more heavy.

And when Mercy it self condemns, as it shews the offence to bee hainous: so it makes the condemnation the more heavy.
As the sourest Vinegar comes from the sweetest Wine, so out of the sweetest Mercy, the sorest condemnation. It will be ten thousand times easier for those, who are condemned under the Law; their torments will not be so heavy, Hell will not be so hot to them, as to such who are now condemned under the Gospel.
