First, The full and perfect eternal rejection of the soul from God, and from all good in him together, with the fullness of all kind of evil that the soul is capable of; this is the condition of a lost soul that perishes.
First, The full and perfect eternal rejection of the soul from God, and from all good in him together, with the fulness of all kinde of evil that the soul is capable of; this is the condition of a lost soul that perishes.
Secondly, And then in the next place it consists in the making of this soul to be perfectly sensible of the loss of that good, and of all the evil it is possest withal, making of it perfectly sensible of it: Here men and women are in lost conditions, but they know it not, they are not sensible of it: But God will bring the soul into such a condition, as it shall be made perfectly sensible of the loss of all the good that it might have had, and of all the evil that is upon it.
Secondly, And then in the next place it consists in the making of this soul to bee perfectly sensible of the loss of that good, and of all the evil it is possest withall, making of it perfectly sensible of it: Here men and women are in lost conditions, but they know it not, they are not sensible of it: But God will bring the soul into such a condition, as it shall bee made perfectly sensible of the loss of all the good that it might have had, and of all the evil that is upon it.
Thirdly, And then lastly, It shall be in such a condition, so succourless, so helpless, as is not only beyond the power of Angels, and all men to help it; but I say, so succourless, so lost, as that Gods mercy, and all the good there is in Christ shall never save it, and as God hath set and ordered things, can never save it.
