The Thirty third SERMON.1
- 1Sermon 33.
JOHN 3. 19. 1And this is the Condemnation, that light is come into the 2world, and men loved darkness rather than light; because their deeds were evil.
- 1Text.
- 2Of the Aggravation of the sin and punishment of unbelief under the light of the Gospel.
Out of the fore-going Verse it was fully proved in our last Sermon that all Christless and unregenerate men are no better than dead men, being Condemned already. Our Saviour proceeds in this Verse to aggravate the misery of those that refuse and despise him, yet farther, and to let them know that those who remain in unbelief and the state of unregeneracy must expect some greater and sorer wrath than other men: not only a simple Condemnation, but an aggravated and peculiar Condemnation. This is the Condemnation that light is come, &c.
