Reas. 7 And further, When God shall say of any, Let him alone, it is a greater judgment than if he should inflict all the outward judgments of this world upon them: Too many of you are afraid ⟨p. 211⟩of sickness, of being spoiled of your goods, that God should let the enemy in upon you and all should be taken from you, this were a great judgment, Oh but this judgment here in the Text is a greater judgment than if you were stripped of all the comforts in the world and brought into the miserablest condition that ever any creature was upon the earth in regard of outwards, you were not under such a dreadful judgment as thi•, for God to say, Let them alone; better any judgments than spiritual judgments; As the spiritual blessings of God bestowed upon the Saints are the greatest blessings, Ephe. 1.2. Oh blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ that hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly things; so the judgments of God that are spiritual judgments they are the most dreadful judgments of God in the world. Oh that we could have our hearts possest with a fear of those to fear spiritual judgments more than all the judgments in the world!
