And then Secondly, How will the shame and confusion of men be aggravated hereafter, which did disregard Gods using 1of them in an honourable way? This is the way to bring shame and confusion upon you for ever, so as hereafter men and Angels shall say, and so your conscience shall say: Just it is with God to punish me with eternal shame and confusion, why? for God had respect to me when I lived, and God dealt with me in an honourable way, and did seek to draw me with the Cords of a man, and it's just with God that now he should give me my portion among Devils and Reprobates, and that he should ⟨p. 57⟩no more regard me as a creature but rather hate and abhor me as a Devil, for I would not regard his dealing with me as a man: this will justify God in that wrath that will be upon you another day.
