Arg. 7. It's a Sin over which many direful woes and threats hang in the Word, like so many louring ⟨p. 17⟩clouds, ready to power down vengeance upon the heads of such Sinners. Look as the condition of the Saints is compassed round with Promises, so is yours with Threatenings, Isai. 5. 11. Woe to them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink, and continue until night, until Wine inflame. So Isai. 28. 1, 2. Woe to the Crown of Pride, to the Drunkards of Ephraim, &c. With many other, too long to enumerate here. Now consider what a fearful thing it is to be under these woes of God: Sinner, I beseech thee, do not make light of them, for they will fall heavy: assure thy self, not one of them shall fall to the ground: they will all take place upon thee, except thou repent.
