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

7. If Christ will condemn men at the Great Day for sins of Omission, It may inform us of the excellency of the Christian Religion above all other Religions. The excellency of any Religion consisteth in the purity of its Precepts, and strictness of its Commands; now no Religion is so holy in its Commands, and so exact in its Laws as the Christian Religion. Moral Duties are advanced by it to their highest perfection, and moral ⟨p. 238⟩Vices are debased by it to their lowest degradation. The Commandment of the Lord is pure, Psal. 19. Thy Word is very pure. Christ will condemn men to Hell at the last Day for Omissions as well as Commissions, for neglect of known Duties, as well as for the perpetration of gross Enormities.

1. If we consider the Religion of the Heathen, we shall find that it is vastly inferior in purity to the Christian Religion. Among the Gentiles (who lived without the Gospel) it can scarce be said there was any Religion at all, for their Gods were Stocks, and Stones, and Trees, and Fire, and Water, and Beasts, and dead Men; nay, their Precepts were so far from purity, that they commended and commanded impurity. As among the ancient Babylonians, in the Worship of Venus, the Women prostituted themselves to all Strangers; nay, the very Gods of the Heathen did, according to their own fictitious Writers, patronize all their Impieties, even by their own Patterns. Jupiter, the chief forsooth of their Gods, who hath his Name from being an helping Father, ⟨p. 239⟩commits Incest with his own Sister Juno, and his Daughter Minerva, Sodomy with Ganymedes, ravisheth Europa, banisheth his Father Saturn out of his Kingdom. Venus was a Whore, Mercury a Thief, Bacchus a Drunkard, &c. But to leave these, and speak to them that were more sober in their Understandings, and not so vain in their Imaginations, who had [Greek or Hebrew], the work of the Law written in their hearts,
