Love to Christ, necessary to escape the curse at his coming

4. To be Anathema when Maran-atha, will be to be accursed publicly and openly before all the world; to be accursed before blessed Angels, and cursed Devils; to be accursed before the blessed Saints, and other cursed men. Thou didst openly declare thy love of Pleasures, thou didst openly follow such courses, that all might see are inconsistent with sincere love to Christ, and thou shalt be openly accursed. Or though thou didst openly pray, and publicly hear, and profess the ways of Christ, but ⟨p. 62⟩didst secretly in thy heart love something else more than Christ, yet for thy secret hypocrisy thou shalt be publicly accursed.

What shame shall then confound thee, and what confusion shall then cover thy face, when thou that thoughtest thy self a blessed man, and others thought thee to be blessed, that thou and they were quite mistaken! When Christ before them all shall pronounce a sentence upon thee, whereby thou art published to be accursed, and commanded with all the Plagues and Curses of God upon thy soul and body, to depart into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels,
