Man ashiv le-Yahoweh, or, A serious enquiry for a suitable return for continued life,…

V. The worse thou growest, the more thou heapest up treasures of wrath, and every sin is adding to the pile of that fire by which thou must eternally be burned; temporal judgements might quickly befall thee, but if they do not, eternal damnation shall overtake thee; and the higher thou goest in wickedness, the lower thou shalt sink and lye in hell; God will proportion thy degrees of torments to thy growth and progress in sin. Now thou hast a treasure of sin, Mat. 12.35. And God hath his treasures of wrath, Deut. 32.34. ⟨p. 55⟩And as thou layest in sin, to the treasury of sin, so God layeth in wrath, to the treasury of wrath. ^*Rom. 2.5. Thy present preservation, is but a reservation to greater indignation, then is discovered in a Plague. Tarditatem supplicii gravitate compensabit deus. He will recompense the delay of thy misery and punishment, with the weight and load of it, Job 36.13.
