Doct. Woe and anguish must follow him that continueth sinning against God.
And when we hear this from the Ministers of God, it is as if we heard that Angel, Rev. 8.13. flying through the midst of heaven, denouncing, Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth. The Ministers of God are his Angels; and the same that I now deliver to you, if an Angel should now ⟨p. 99⟩come from Heaven, he would deliver no other thing. Therefore consider that it is a voice from Heaven, that this woe, woe, woe, shall rest upon the heads, upon the bodies and souls of all them that will not yield unto God, that will not stoop to him, that will be their own masters, and stand it out against him: woe, woe, woe unto them all. Woe unto us. It's the voice of the Church in general, not of one man; but woe unto us that we have sinned.

Woe unto us. It's the voice of the Church in general, not of one man; but woe unto us that we have sinned.
