PROP. II. All the sin and guilt contracted upon the Souls and consciences of impenitent men in this World, accompanies and follows their departed Souls to judgment; and there brings them under the dreadful condemnation of the great and terrible God, which cuts off all their hopes and comforts for ever.
IF you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sins, Joh. 8.24. and Job 20.11. His bones are full of the sins of his youth which shall lye down with him in the dust. No Proposition lies clearer in Scripture, or should lie with greater weight upon the hearts of sinners: nothing but pardon can remove guilt; but without faith and repentance there never was nor shall be a pardon, Acts 10.43. Rom. 3 24, 25. Luk. 24.46, 47. Look as the graces of Believers, so the sins of Unbelievers follow the Soul whithersoever it goes. All their sins who dye out of Christ cry to them when they go hence, We are thy works, and we will follow thee. The acts of sin are transient, but the guilt and effects of it are permanent; and it is evident by this, that in the great day their consciences which are the Books of record wherein all their sins are registered, will be opened, and they shall be judged by them, and out of them, Rev. 20.12.
