To this height of madness do some wicked men arise, their spirits being big with sin, they bring forth or belch out this monster of words; They say to God, depart from us. They (as it were) send God a writ of Ejectment, they do not pray or entreat God to depart from them, but with as much rudeness and incivility as unholiness and profaneness, Say unto God, depart from us. 'Tis a word of command, from man, but such a one as breaks all the commandments of God. Moses (Numb. 16.26.) beseeches the people, saying, Depart I pray you from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs; but here we have wicked men not praying God to depart, but bidding him, they say depart from us. David speaks to the wicked (Psal. 119.115.) Depart from me ye evil doers, for I will keep the commandments of my God; he bids them begone, He would ⟨p. 157⟩not give them the least welcome or entertainment. And so Jesus Christ is described speaking to the wicked in the day of Judgement, (Matth. 7.23.)

They (as it were) send God a writ of Ejectment, they doe not pray or entreate God to depart from them, but with as much rudenes and incivillity as unholynes and prophanenes, Say unto God, depart from us. 'Tis a word of command, from man, but such a one as breakes all the commandements of God. Moses (Numb. 16.26.) beseeches the people, saying, Depart I pray you from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of theirs; but here we have wicked men not praying God to depart, but bidding him, they say depart from us. David speakes to the wicked (
