if the Lord seem to smile upon thee, not so much as check thee in thy scandalous way, know that the sentence of destruction is the next that is like to ensue, Math 23. 34. 35. I will send you Prophets and Apostles and some ye shall kill and stone &c. that the blood of all the Prophets may come upon you, fulfil the measure of your fins and so receive the fullness of the measure of plagues. […] can ye escape the damnation of bell. ver. 32. 33. I Thes. 2. 15. The Jews both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own Prophets, and have persecuted us, they please not God and are contrary to all men, to fill up their fins always, for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost When […] have elbow room in their wretched ways, ⟨p. 349⟩and are not crossed in their hellish corruptions, the wrath is come upon them to the utmost. This is the dregs of God vengeance, the utmost of Gods indignation, thou canst hardly be worse if not in hell. Whereas great heart-breakings for sin give in more than a little hope, and probability of good intended, see this in the several degrees of it, and all follow from the doctrine delivered.
