Now that I may a little clear this to you, I shall demonstrate it to you in these following Particulars:
1. It is ill with the wicked in this life. 2. It is ill with him at his death. 3. It is ill with him at the day of Judgement. 4. It is ill with him after the day of Judgement.
First, It is ill with the Wicked in this life. There's hardly a wicked man that hears me, that thinks so: when he hath the affluence and confluence of outward comforts, when he eats of the fat, and drinks of the sweet, he will hardly believe that Minister that tells him it shall be ill with him; yea, but it is ill with the wicked even in this life; foris it not ill with that man that hath a curse, yea the curse of God, entailed upon him? My Text pronounceth a curse against the sinner, Vae improbo, Woe to the wicked: And can that man thrive that lives under a curse? ⟨p. 61⟩Clouds of blood & wrath hang over the head of a wicked man; he is heir to all the plagues that are written in the Book of God; all God's curses are the Sinners portion, and if he dies in his sins, he is sure to have the portion paid him. Woe to the Wicked; every bit of Bread he eateth, he hath it with a curse, like poisoned Bread given to a Dog; every drop of Wine he drinks, he swallows down a curse with it. Woe to the wicked, there is a Curse in his cup, there is a curse on his table; God hath said, Woe to him.
