Secondly, The evil of murmuring is s•c•, that God when he would speak of wicked men, and describe them▪ and show the brand of a wicked and ungodly man or woman, he instances in this sin in a more sp•c•all manner, I might name many Scriptures▪ but that Scripture in Jude is a most remarkable one, In the 14▪ verse and so forward, there i• is said, That the Lord comes with ten thousands of hi• Saints, to execute judgement upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them, of all their ungodly deeds, which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches, which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. Mark here in this 15. vers. there is four times mentioned ungodly ones, all that are ungodly among them, all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him: This is in the general▪ but now he comes in the particular to show who these are, these are (saith he) murmurers, that's the very first, would you know who are ⟨p. 121⟩ungodly men, that God when he comes with ten thousand of Angels shall come to punish for all their ungodly deeds that they do, and those that speak ungodly things against them; These ungodly ones are murmurers, murmurers in the Scripture are put in the fore front of ungodly ones, it's a most dreadful Scripture, that the Lord when he speaks of ungodly ones puts murmurers in the very fore-front of all, you had need look to your spirits, you may see that this murmuring, which is the vice contrary to this Contentment is not so small a matter as you think, you think you are not so ungodly as others, because you do not swear and drink as others do, but you may be ungodly in murmuring, it's true there is no sin but some seeds and remayners of it are in those that are godly, but when they are under the power of this sin of murmuring, it doth convince them to be ungodly, as well as if they were under the power of drunkenness, or whoredom, or any other sin, God will look upon you as ungodly for this sin as well as for any sin whatsoever. This one Scripture should make the heart shake at the thought of the sin of murmuring.
Secondly, The evill of murmuring is s•c•, that God when he would speak of wicked men, and discribe them▪ and shew the brand of a wicked and ungodly man or woman, he instances in this sin in a more sp•c•all manner, I might name many Scriptures▪ but that Scripture in Jude is a most remarkable one, In the 14▪ verse and so forward, there i• is said, That the Lord comes with ten thousands of hi• Saints, to execute judgement upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them, of all their ungodly deeds, which they have ungodly commit•ed, and of all their hard speeches, which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. Mark here in this 15. vers. there is four times mentioned ungodly ones, all that are ungodly among them, all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly commited, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him: This is in the general▪ but now he comes in the particular to shew who these are, these are (saith he) murmurers, that's the very first, would you know who are ⟨p. 121⟩ungodly men, that God when he comes with ten thousand of Angels shall come to punish for all their ungodly deeds that they doe, and those that speake ungodly things against them; These ungodly ones are murmurers, murmurers in the Scripture are put in the fore front of ungodly ones, it's a most dreadfull Scripure, that the Lord when he speaks of ungodly ones puts murmurers in the very fore-front of all, you had need look to your spirits, you may see that this murmuring, which is the vice contrarie to this Contentment is not so small a matter as you think, you think you are not so ungodly as others, because you doe not sweare and drink as others doe, but you may be ungodly in murmuring, it's true there is no sin but som seedes and remayners of it are in those that are godly, but when they are under the power of this sin of murmuring, it doth convince them to be ungodly, as well as if they were under the power of drunkennesse, or whordome, or any other sin, God will look upon you as ungodly for this sin as well as for any sin whatsoever. This one Scripture should make the heart shake at the thought of the sin of murmuring.
