5. He is said to regard sin, that doth not regard the threatenings of God against sin. We read of seven thunders uttering their voice, Rev. 10.3. How many thunders in Scripture utter their voice against sin. Psal. 68.21. God shall wound the hairy scalp of such an one as goes on still in his Trespasses. Here is a thundering Scripture, but sinners fear not this thunder; let a Minister ⟨p. 233⟩come as a Boanerges, clothed with the spirit of Elijah, and denounce all the curses of God against mens sins, they regard it not, they can laugh at the shaking of a Spear*; this is to regard iniquity, and doth argue an impure heart.

How many thunders in Scripture utter their voyce against sin. Psal. 68.21. God shall wound the hairy scalp of such an one as goes on still in his Trespasses. Here is a thundering Scripture, but sinners fear not this thunder; let a Minister ⟨p. 233⟩come as a Boanerges, cloathed with the spirit of Eliah, and denounce all the curses of God against mens sins, they regard it not, they can laugh at the shaking of a Spear*; this is to regard iniquity, and doth argue an impure heart.
