THE Young-Mans Duty AND EXCELLENCY. › The Young mans objections Answered
Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Now to this Objection I shall give these following answers.
First, God is as just as he is merciful, witness his casting the Angels out of Heaven, and Adam out of Paradise, 1witness all the threatenings, the curses, the woes, that the Bible is filled with, from one end, to the other; witness the hell, the horror, the terror and amazement that he raises in the consciences of sinners; witness the devastations that he hath made of the most stately flourishing Towns, Cities, Countries and Kingdoms, that have been in all the world; witness the variety of diseases, calamities, miseries, dangers, deaths, and hells, that always attends the inhabitants of the world; but above ⟨p. 341⟩all witness Christs treading the Wine-press of his fathers wrath; witness his hiding his face from him, and the pouring out of all his displeasure, and vengeance upon him.
