Sixthly, It will be Wrath-amazing, and very terrible Wrath, 1because it will seize on the Soul of the Sinner, it will put the Soul into the fire: The Soul hath been the chief sinner here, and therefore shall be the chief sufferer in those Regions of Sorrow; and how unsupportable is that Wrath which is let out on the Soul or Spirit of man, you have had a taste in Spira and Child. If, Sirs, a spark of Divine Displeasure, when it falls upon the guilty Conscience, tears it to pieces, what will be those floods of Divine Wrath poured forth in Hell on the Souls of Men and Women? who can stand here whilst in this World before an Angry God, or encounter with Offended Omnipotency? such is the sharpness of his Sword, the heaviness of his Rod, when laid on by the hand of his Wrath, that every stroke is deadly, and no doubt Satan greatens the wounds on the Conscience, he charges the guilt upon their Spirits with all the Soul-killing aggravations, and strives to hide Divine Mercy, and Rob the Soul of the precious Blood of Christ, the only lenitive and choice balm to heal a wounded Spirit. O what visions of horror, what sense of fear, and perplexity, were presented to the distressed minds of these two miserable Creatures before mentioned! the guilty Conscience turns all Joy into Sorrow, all Light into Darkness, the sweet Promises ⟨p. 57⟩of the Gospel, that assure of favour and pardon to believing Sinners, afford no relief, but are turned into arguments of Despair, by reflecting on their former Iniquities and abuse of Mercies, so that Christ himself they see is become their Accuser.
