Two discourses I. of the punishment of sin in hell, demonstrating the wrath of…

There are two Reasons drawn from the final Causes of this Punishment, which makes this Dispensation necessary: 1. It is for the Glory of his Justice. 2.

All which can never be attained but by an execution made by God's own immediate Wrath.

I shall found these Reasons, as I did the other Proofs, upon what I find Foundations for, in these very Texts I have chosen.

1. It is an Act of Justice; so in this Heb. 10. I will repay; and 2 Thess. 1. 6. It is a righteous thing in God. [Greek or Hebrew], to repay again or recompense, and vers. 9. [Greek or Hebrew], who shall pay or lay down a Punishment justly sentenced; which in Heb. 2. 2. is called a just Recompense of Reward. And Rom. 6. last, the Wages or Reward of Sin. And this is the last Payment, and all that for ever, Sin in them, or God for Sin, shall have; and therefore that whereby the Glory of God is to be fully recovered.
