True, we are all lost by nature, but in that our lost condition we have God pitying us, and Christ pitying us, and the Angels looking upon us with pity, and Saints pitying us; But hereafter, if lost, none shall pity that soul in that condition, when its loss is eternal. God shall not pity it, but then the blessed God shall look upon it as an object of his eternal curse: But no pity shall he have of souls in that their lost condition; neither shall Jesus Christ pity them: True, Jesus Christ came to seek and to save those that were naturally lost, but ye have done what in you lay to frustrate the ends of Christ his coming: and as Christ shall not pity you, so mercy it self shall not pity you; but be so far from pitying of you, as that it shall plead against you

And Angels they shall not pity you, because they shall be taken up in blessing and praising of God for his works, and righteous judgements upon you:
