Here I shall enquire, 1. How many ways men •ay be said, not to receive the love of the •ruth. 2. How just their punishment is f•r such a sin.
1. I• stating this sin, 1. It is supposed that •he truth and doctrine of Christ, is made known to a people, yea cometh among them with great Evidence, Conviction and Authority. For it is not the want of means, but want of love, that it is charged on them; And the plenty of means aggravateth their fault, and maketh their Condemnation the •ore just. John. 3.19. This is the Condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness more than light. The truth was not for their turns, but was contrary to their lusts, and passions, and prejudices, and these they preferred before the light of the Gospel shining to them.
