Then again think with your selves, how that this Wrath of God is declared to be against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of any kind, continued in a way of Disobedience. And be thy Sins small or great, yet whilst thou art in that Estate, ⟨p. 231⟩this Wrath is in their proportion due unto all that ungodliness and unrighteousness in thee, and remains upon thee for them. First, against all ungodliness, though it be but in deadness, averseness unto, and turning aside from God unto the Creature: whereupon follow Neglects, Contempts of him, Enmities to him, and thence Omission of Duties towards him, and not glorifying him as God, as there ver. 21. And secondly, all unrighteousness unrepented of and continued in; the enumeration of the Particulars of which you may have in the same Chapter, vers. 29, 30. being filled with all Unrighteousness, Fornication, Wickedness, Covetousness, Maliciousness, full of Envy, Murder, Debate, Deceit, Malignity, Whisperers, Backbiters, Haters of God, Despiteful, Proud, Boasters, Inventors of evil Things, Disobedient to Parents, &c. And to strike thy Heart yet more, think what Sins the Apostle more especially singleth out, as those for which he specially indigitates that the Wrath of God cometh upon the Children of Disobedience, Col. 3. 5, 6. Even Fornication, Uncleanness, inordinate Affection, evil Concupiscence, and Covetousness, which is Idolatry: For which things sake the Wrath of God cometh upon the Children of Disobedience; that is, that live in them in a way of ⟨p. 232⟩Rebellion and Disobedience unto God.
