The sinners last sentence to eternal punishment, for sins of omission

CHAP. I. The Preface and Introduction to the Text.

Though the Wise God is pleased now and then to keep a Petty-Sessions at this day, and to execute Vengeance on some Sinners, lest men should question his Providence, and but on some, lest they should question his Patience; Yet the ⟨p. 2⟩Great Assize, when Justice shall have a solemn, public and general Triumph, will be the last Day. This World is the Theatre whereon Mercy is acting its part every moment; if Justice peep out a little, as the Sun out of a Cloud, it is quickly recalled and hidden again, it will not appear in its full beauty, and glory, and brightness, till all Nations appear in the other World. Here all things come alike to all, there is one event to the Righteous and to the Wicked, to the Clean and to the Unclean, to him that sweareth, and to him that feareth an Oath, Eccles. 9.2. The Sun of Prosperity shineth, and the Showers of Adversity fall on both promiscuously. If there be any difference for the better, it is commonly on the worser side, Psal. 73.3. to the 8. vers. But there when the last Trump shall sound, the living be changed, the dead raised, and all shall appear before the Judgment-Seat of Christ, when the Saints shall be called, honoured, acquitted, and rewarded; when the Sinner shall be arraigned, accused, condemned, and executed, when the Judge shall say to the Saints on his ⟨p. 3⟩right hand, Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the Foundation of the World: And to the Sinners on his left hand, Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire, prepared for the Devil and his Angels. Then men will see and say, Verily there is a reward for the Righteous, Surely there is a God that judgeth in the World. Then men shall return and discern a difference between the Righteous and the Wicked, between him that serveth God, and him that serveth him not.
