Now you will say, How doth God appear, that he doth not accept of them? He will appear in these three things:
1 First by blasting those that do worship him thus in a formal way: It shall at First be secret, but afterwards it will appear more apparently, and we see it by experience, that such as have bin Professors of Religion, and worship God in hypocrisy, and in formality, they have bin blasted in their parts and common gifts.

The judgment of God upon Nadab and Abihu that did not Sanctify Gods Name it was secret at first; It struck them dead, and though by fire, yet if you read the story you shall find that their clothes were not burnt, and yet they were burnt in their bodies: So the Lord sometimes doth blast men inwardly in their Spirits, in their Souls, in their Parts, in their common Gifts; he blasts them I say inwardly though it doth not appear outwardly, yet at length it will appear before men that they are blasted; and in these times of the Gospel the Lord doth come with spiritual judgments rather than with outward temporal judgments. In the time of the Law, those that did not Sanctify the Name of God in holy duties, the Lord did appear by some external and visible way upon their bodies; but now in the time of the Gospel there God comes with more spiritual judgments upon mens Souls, and those are the most terrible judgments: We have a notable Scripture for this in Isa. 29.13
