Fourthly, Christs coming will be dreadful to all those, who bear not a sincere love to Jesus Christ. Wilt thou mark one scripture, 1 Cor. 16. 22. If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha. There is much of Gods mind in this dark expression, If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be an accursed man, that is the meaning of the word Anathema; but the other word Maranatha, it is a word compounded of two words, and it bears this sense, Maran signifies a Lord, and Atha signifies venit, he comes; so then when the Scripture saith, he that loves not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be an accursed man; Let him be Maran ⟨p. 183⟩Atha, when the Lord Jesus shall come to judge the word, let Christ then curse him that doth not love him. O then I beseech you think this with your selves, that all you who do not bear a sincere love to Jesus Christ when he comes, his coming shall be with a curse, a curse to Hell and damnation to all such.
