2. Great Judgments shall befall them in this World: 2 Pet. 2.6. And turning the Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into Asbes, condemned them with an Overthrow, making them Examples unto those that should live ungodly. And 1 Pet. 4.18. And if the Righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the Ungodly and the Sinner appear? God's Jealousy is great; Isa. 59.17. For he put on Righteousness as a Breast-plate, and a Helmet of Salvation upon his Head; and he put on the Garments of Vengeance for a Clothing, and was clad with Zeal as a Cloak. God is not only jealous of his Honour, but he will be known, and plainly profess himself so to be, the Cloak of a Man being his outward Garment. No such visible Providences as against Ungodliness: So Exod. 34.13. The Lord, whose Name is Jealous, is a jealous God. That is fit to make the Name of a thing, which distinguisheth it from all other things of the same kind. This distinguisheth the true God from all Gods whatsoever; others are so far from being jealous Gods, that tho their Worshippers went to never so many Gods, yet to them it was all one; they were good Fellow-Gods, and would admit of Partners: when they brought their Gifts, like common Whores, they received them without more ado. The true God will admit of no Partners; this he will severely punish, and do them as much Harm as ever he did do them Good.
