3. He hath lost his soul: And what is left when my soul is lost? There are divers kinds of losses; some Losses are Gain 1to us, (such was Pauls loss, Phil. 3.) Some Losses are a Pain to us, a little diminution, an excire only of this or that comfort; some lose Sin, and get Christ; some lose Earth, and get Heaven; but no loss like the loss of the Soul: Now every unconverted man hath lost this Jewel, this Soul of his: He hath lost his Soul, 1. To Satan, who hath the dominion and use of it, he rules, and he works mightily in it, and over it; a wicked mans soul is the Devils slave, he takes it captive at his pleasure: 2. To a condemning and revenging God; The soul that sins shall die; the Lease is forfeited; sin forfeits the soul into the hands of a condemning God, and there it is stayed for ever, unless a price be paid by the blood of Christ to ransom and recover it.
