8. Disobedience is a sin against Self-preservation*. Disloyalty is treason, and by treason the sinner is bound over to the wrath of God. 2 Thes. 1.7, 8. The Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire, taking vengeance on them who obey not the Gospel. He that refuseth to obey Gods will in Commanding, shall be sure to obey his will in Punishing. The sinner while he thinks to slip the Knot of Obedience, twists the Cord of his own Damnation. Thus ye have seen the sin of Disobedience set out in its bloody colours: Be wise now therefore O ye Kings, be instructed ye Judges of the earth; serve the Lord with fear; Kiss the Son left he be angry. Kiss Christ with a kiss of love; Kiss him with a kiss of loyalty; When his wrath is kindled but a little, blessed are all they that put their trust in him, Psal. 2. ult.
