Quest. 7. But what if I die without such a preparation as this is, what will the consequence of that be?
Answ. Very terrible; even the separation of my Soul and Body from the Lord to all Eternity, John 3. 36. He that believeth on the Son, bath everlasting life; and he that believeth not the Son, shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him. He shall not see life: there's the privative part of his misery, separation from the blessed God. And the [wrath] mark it, not anger, but wrath; not the wrath of a man, bat of [God] at whose rebukes ⟨p. 71⟩the Mountains skip like frighted men, and the Hills tremble: The wrath of God not only flashes out upon him, as a transient flash of lighting, but [abideth] dwells, sticks fast, there is no power in the world can loose the soul from it. [Upon him] not the body only, nor the soul only, but on [him] (i. e.) the whole person, the whole Man. Here is the principal positive part of that man's misery.
