2 In the Second place, Know that this word that is appointed by God for the conveyance of so much mercy to his elect, it will prove to be the greatest aggravation of thy sin that can be; This is the condemnation that light is come into the world and men love darkness rather than light: This is [The] condemnation. If so be that light had not come among you, then the condemnation ⟨p. 201⟩had not been so great, your sin had not been so great, & your punishment had not bin so great. In Mat. 10.14, 15. where speaking of those that did enjoy the word, and yet did not Sanctify Gods Name in it. Whosoever shall not receive you (saith Christ to his Disciples) nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or City, shake off the dust of your feet; Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgement than for that City. It is a most dreadful Scripture; their very dust must be shaken off in token of indignation, and it shall be more easy for the Land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that place: You would be very loth to be in a worse condition than Sodom and Gomorrah that was consumed by fire from heaven, And now suffer the vengeance of eternal fire, Jude, 7. Certainly they shall not be so deep in judgments as those that live under the Ministry of the word and Sanctify not the Name of God in it. Your sin is of a deeper dye, than the sin of the Heathens, yea and in some respects than the sin of the Devils, they never had the word of the Gospel sent to be preached to them; and therefore this will aggravate your sin not only beyond heathens but beyond Devils. Look to it then that Gods Name be Sanctified in the hearing of his Word.
