3. In Chastisements God fulfils his Word, the Word of God would be slighted & contemned else: Now this pleases me therefore to chastise them to fulfil my Word upon them.

Oh!1 the fearful evil of sin that brings the creature into such a condition, as Gods heart is delighted in every evil that sinful creatures suffer: this must needs be a sad condition indeed, for the merciful God that delights so much in doing of mercy, yet now to look upon a sinner under his wrath, and delights in it, and loves it, and is well pleased to see the creature, even the work of his own hands to be under his wrath. Hereafter there will be pure Justice, God will delight in the destruction of sinners in Hell, in the execution of his Justice upon them, he will there do nothing else but rejoice in it, there shall be nothing but joy in Gods heart to see the execution of his Justice upon sinners to all eternity, yea, and God will call all the Angels and Saints to come to rejoice with him, Come ye Angels and Saints and rejoice with me, here's a wretched sinner that was stubborn & rebellious against me in the time of his life, and see how my Power hath overtaken him, see the dreadfulness of my wrath, come and rejoice with me for ever in this wrath of mine. This will be the condition of sinners eternally in Hell.
