4. Christ will condemn the Devilish; all such as are children of the devil, as bear his Image, and do his work, that yield themselves to be his slaves and servants, and endeavour the promotion of the interest of his Kingdom; all such as are under the power of Devilish pride, and Devilish envy, and Devilish malice; all Devilish liars, and Devilish slanderers, and Devilish persecutors ⟨p. 235⟩of Gods people: In a word, all such persons as live in a course of sin, and never brake off the trade thereof by repentance, and obtained a pardon of sin through faith, and yielded up themselves unto the obedience of the Gospel will be condemned by Christ at his appearance.

Beloved, examine your selves seriously hereby, and what hath been before said, whether you are not in the number of these persons; whether none of you are carnal, in a state of nature; whether none of you, are sensual or earthly; whether none of you are children of the Devil; whether none of you are Drunkards, Adulterers, Liars, slanderers, unjust, unrighteous, and withal impenitent persons, unbelievers, and children of disobedience, against whom the wrath of God will be revealed, when the Lord Jesus Christ shall be revealed from Heaven to Judgment.
