Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
In handling of which point I shall show,
First, What this wrath is which is to come. ⟨p. 5⟩Secondly, That this wrath is to come. Thirdly, Upon whom this wrath is to come. Fourthly, When this wrath will come. Fifthly, Who this Jesus is that doth deliver from wrath to come. Sixthly, How Jesus doth deliver from wrath to come. Seventhly, How any do or may have a share in this deliverance by Jesus from wrath to come. Eighthly, Make some use and application.
First; What this Wrath is which is to come; It is not the finite wrath of the most furious and fierce Creatures, not the wrath of Lions, or Bears, or Tigers, or evening Wolves, or wild Bulls; nor the wrath of the most Potent and Tyrannical men, who may exceed all these in fierceness and cruelty; neither is it the wrath of the Devil, whose wrath is great here on Earth, when let loose to tempt and deceive, but most furiously will it express it self hereafter in Hell, when he is let loose as Gods Executioner to torment the wicked: But by the wrath to come, we are to understand the Infinite wrath of the Sin-revenging God, in comparison with which the wrath of all other Creatures in the World is mildness, and not in the least to be regarded.
