Lastly, In regard of the irrecoverableness of the lostness of the soul when it is once lost.
The soul, when it is departed from the body, and once lost, then all the power of God can never help nor recover it; but then the stream of Gods wrath shall carry it with that mighty force, as that it shall not be able to all eternity to have the least actings of its self towards its deliverance for ever.
The soul, when it is departed from the body, and once lost, then all the power of God can never help nor recover it; but then the stream of Gods wrath shall carry it with that mighty force, as that it shall not bee able to all eternity to have the least actings of its self towards its deliverance for ever.
Secondly, There shall be no Mediator between God and the lost soul, none to mediate for it: Now, had not we a Mediator between God and us, we were all certainly lost; but now for the soul that is once lost eternally, Jesus Christ will never tender up any work of mediation for such a soul; that is certainly gone and lost irrecoverably. And then further, the gates of mercy will be for ever shut against such a soul.
