Thirdly, we are to observe, that God will inflict punishments 1speedily, continually, and one in the neck of another, upon that people who despise admonitions, and are impatient to hear rebukes: for when his sovereign salves of instruction will not heal them, nor his sharp corrosives of rebuke keep them from putrefaction and rottenness, what remaineth, but that with the sword of vengeance he should cut them off? And thus the Lord punisheth contemners of his word; by suffering them to fall into errors and heresies; and by giving them up to strong delusions, and to believe 2lies; by giving them over to a reprobate sense, to run on in their wicked ways, without check or stop; and lastly, by bringing upon them calamity upon calamity, and punishment upon punishment, till they be utterly destroyed and cut off. An example whereof we have in the Churches of Israel and Judah, in Jeroboam, in Ahab, and many others.

And thus the Lord punisheth contemners of his word; by suffering them to fall into errours and heresies; and by giuing them vp to strong delusions, and to beleeue 2lyes; by giuing them ouer to a reprobate sense, to runne on in their wicked wayes, without check or stop; and lastly, by bringing vpon them calamitie vpon calamitie, and punishment vpon punishment, till they bee vtterly destroyed and cut off. An example whereof wee haue in the Churches of Israell and Iuda, in Ieroboam, in Ahab, and many others.
