Thy judgment hastens, thou canst not not escape it nor prevent it, and truly it's coming more speedily and suddenly then thou art aware of. Thou bringest upon thy self swift destruction, & though thou sleepest yet thy damnation sleeps not. Hebr. 6. 8. the earth that often receives rain from heaven, and yet brings forth thorns is near unto cursing, look every day that God should curse all thy comforts, thy out-goings, and thy in-comings, Prov. 28. 14.

When men harden their hearts God swears they shall never enter into his rest. Hebr. 3. last.
