The warnings of God, when they are slighted, they will necessitate and aggravate our condemnation.
1. They will necessitate our condemnation. For there are three degrees of Gods wrath. His threatening wrath, his punishing wrath, and his ⟨p. 21⟩condemning Wrath. And this is Gods Method. First, He threateneth▪ before he punisheth: And if his threatening anger reform us, we shall never feel his punishing anger; but if his threatenings prevail not, we shall certainly feel his punishing anger. And if neither threats, nor punishments prevail, nothing remains but his condemning Wrath. Si non audies vocem misericordiae, senties vocem judicij. Si nonaudies primam tubam, 1senties ultimam. Si non audies Deum minantem, senties punientem & condemnantem. What destroyed the old World, but because they did not regard Noah's warning? What destroyed Lots sons in Law, but because they mocked at Lots warning.
