Positively it implieth that he shall be found guilty, and shall be dealt with as a guilty person, that he shall be eternally condemned, shut out from God's presence, and cast into Hell to be there tormented for ever and ever. 3. Eminently it implieth a very high degree of punishment, that the degree shall be eminent, and that in respect of other sins this sin shall have a peculiar weight added unto its Curse, an • be ranked amongst those sins which shall be in the Justice of God most severely punished; a particular instance and proof whereof, is in Hypocrites, whose Judgment shall be in Hell amongst the sorest; the Hypocrites portion of Wrath will be a large portion.
