Ye cursed: there is the malediction. But Lord if we must 1depart, let us depart blessed. No, depart ye cursed: you have cursed others, and now you shall be curst your selves; you shall be curst in your bodies, and curst in your souls; you shall be curst of God, and curst of Christ, and curst of Angels, and curst of Saints, and curst of Devils, and curst of your companions. Yea, you shall now curse your very selves, your very souls, that ever you have despised the Gospel, refused the offers of Grace, scorned Christ, and neglected the means of your salvation. Oh sinners, sinners, all your curses, all your maledictions, shall at last recoil upon your own souls. Now thou cursest every man, and thing, that stands in the way of thy lusts, and that crosses thy designs; but at last all the Curses of Heaven and Hell, shall meet in their full power and force upon thee. Surely that man is cursed with a witness, that is cursed by Christ himself.
