1. Some feel the wrath of God, and are either only enraged ⟨p. 356⟩against God with blasphemies, or inraging their hearts the more to go on in sinning against God, thinking at least by the pleasure of sin to drown the sense of wrath, or running into absolute despair of Gods mercy; and therefore never attempting any course of repentance, because they give up all hope of mercy. Where there is such a sense of wrath as this, in all respects, and for ever, the condition is very fearful.

2. Some feel the wrath of God, and are hereupon (occasionally) induced either to the study and care of an holy reformation of their sinful hearts and ways, or to a particular restoration of themselves from gross sins, into which they are fallen, and for which now they feel the sore displeasures of an angry Father.
