(Psal. 90.11.) Who knoweth the power of thine anger? I may say also, who knoweth the power of thy love? that is, it is not known, no nor knowable, what powers God can put forth either in anger or love. Eye hath not seen (saith the Apostle, 1 Cor. 2.9.) ⟨p. 182⟩nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. And as the preparations of God for them that love him, so his preparations against them that hate him, are such as no man hath so much as seen, much less entered into. If the treasures of snow and hail exceed our conceptions, what do the treasures of fire and brimstone in the bottomless pit? what is the pile of fire and much wood in Tophet, which the breath of the Lord, like a stream of brimstone kindleth? (Isa. 30.33.)
