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

12. The Reward will answer the Work, and the profit of positive Holiness will answer all thy pains. I confess ⟨p. 343⟩Obedience to the affirmative part of the Command, (to pray, and hear, and give to the Poor, &c. with those qualifications, and in that manner which God commandeth,) is much harder than to the Negative; and to do good is much more difficult than not to do evil; but thy labour shall not be in vain.

Nay, though negative godliness obtains only at present some respect from men, and hereafter fewer stripes from Hells Jailer; positive Holiness hath a far greater, and another manner of reward, both here and hereafter. In the doing of thy Commands there is great reward, Psal. 19. In the forbearing thy Prohibitions there is some reward, but in the doing thy Commands there is great reward. Positive Holiness hath meat in its mouth, affirmative Obedience is its own recompense. It brings that calmness and serenity of mind, that nothing else can do. Negative Holiness may do somewhat towards a negative quietness, i. e. a freedom from those dreadful horrors and terrors which sometimes seize those who commit gross unnatural sins; but positive
