Now God goes on with his work of Conviction, which he had before begun in the sinful sinners Conscience, and sends his holy Spirit to convince and reprove him of Sin, of Righteousness, and of Judgment, Joh. 16.8, 9, 10. And the Spirit by that Scripture, Joh. 3.18. or some other Scripture to that purpose doth thoroughly convince the sinner, that although his pride, passion, worldliness, uncleanness, profaneness, his lying, stealing, swearing, drinking, whoring, or any one or other of his sins deserves eternal Death, Rom. 6.23. Yet that sin for which the wrath of God abideth on him, and for which he is by the written Word of God condemned already, is his great sin of unbelief, Joh. 3.18.36. and Heb. 3.11, 18. God hath sworn, that those who do not believe, shall not enter into his Rest; that is, into Heaven, Heb. 3.18, 19.
