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:
And Angels they shall not pitty you, because they shall bee taken up in blessing and praising of God for his works, and righteous judgements upon you:
Neither shall the Saints pity you, though it be thy Father, out of whose loins thou camest; or though it be thy Mother, out of whose womb thou camest; yet they shall not pity thee, though thou art lost, and lost eternally, but shall rejoice at it, and bless God for his justice upon thee: therefore miserable is the condition of a lost soul.
Neither shall the Saints pitty you, though it bee thy Father, out of whose loins thou camest; or though it bee thy Mother, out of whose womb thou camest; yet they shall not pitty thee, though thou art lost, and lost eternally, but shall rejoyce at it, and bless God for his justice upon thee: therefore miserable is the condition of a lost soul.
The fourth aggravation of a lost soul, is this, It will prove unto most that are lost, an unexpected loss: There are very few that have any apprehensions of the loss of their souls, but they think they may go on in sin, and yet do well enough.
