You may see the horror of it in Cain; the vigour of it in Judas; the doleful effects of it in Spira. It will from all these its offices produce shame, fear, and despair, if God give not repentance to life. The shame it works will so confound you, that you will not be able to look up. Job. 31.14. Psal. 1.5. The fear it ⟨p. 324⟩works will make you wish for a hole in the rock to hide you: Isai. 2.9, 10, 15, 19. And its despair is a death pang. The cutting off of hope is the greatest cut in the world. O who can stand under such a load as this? Prov. 18.14.
