God did never threaten before hand, and say, Whosoever offers strange fire, I will consume them with fire from heaven; But they meet with a judgment that was not threatened: Consider of this, it may be when we come and speak out of the Word and show you plainly how God doth threaten such and such sins, you are afraid then; but know if thou venturest upon ways of sin, thou mayest meet with dreadful judgments executed that never yet were threatened: Besides all those judgments that are threatened in the Book of God thou mayest meet with judgments unheard of, unexpected: As God hath Mercies beyond what he hath expressly revealed in his Word, for never was it heard since the beginning of the world what God hath laid up for them that love him: So God hath judgments beyond what is in his Word, Sometimes when the Ministers of God do open the threatenings that are in Gods Word, you think that they are terrible: But know that God in the treasury of his judgments hath more dreadful things than yet ever hath bin revealed in his Word; and therefore learn to tremble not only at what is revealed in Gods Word against thy sin, but tremble at what there is in that infinite Justice, Power, and Wisdom of God to find out, and execute upon sinners; for thou that art a sinner, and especially if thou beest a bold and presumptuous sinner, thou mayest I say expect to meet with whatsoever evil an infinite ⟨p. 17⟩wisdom is able to devise, and that an infinite power is able to bring upon thee that thou art capable of: Thou committest such and such a sin; perhaps thou doest not know of any particular judgment that is threatened against it; but think thus, I that do provoke God by my sins, what may I look for?

Consider of this and take heed of sin.
