Now for the second thing observed, namely that those 1which come to believe, while they were in a state of Nature and under the curse of the Law, were in an estate of ⟨p. 146⟩condemnation, This is proved Eph. 2. 3. Among whom we also (faith the Apostle) had our conversation, &c. And were by nature the children of wrath as well as others. As he also telleth those believing Romans, Rom. 6. 17. Of this their own conscience is witness against them. The Law of God is the bill of indictment, God the Judge, the Devil the executioner, and hell the prison from whence it is impossible to escape until they come soundly to believe in the Lord Jesus.
