A Practical Commentary on the Epistle of Jude

1. Total reigning unbelief is a black mark, such as lie under it, are in the high way to hell. John 3. 18. He that be-@2lieveth not, is condemned already: The Law hath condemned him, and whilst he remaineth in that estate, the Gospel yieldeth him no hope, John 3. 36, The wrath of God abideth on him; and if he die in it, he is miserable for ever, Rev. 21. 8. Fearful and Unbelievers are reckoned among the Inhabitants of hell. First he is condemned by that ancient sentence, That whosoever sinneth shall die; which is not reversed, but standeth in full force till faith in Christ, John 8. 24. If ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins: and if we continue refusing the counsels of the Gospel, to the condemnation that is already, to the condemnation of the Law, there is added a new condemnation, for despising the Gospel: But now partial unbelief where faith prevaileth, ⟨p. 260⟩though there be many doubts and fears, leaveth a man obnoxious to temporal judgements, but not to eternal ruin.
