Sinners will have much shame ere all be done, for every sin, But such as have wickedly betrayed their trust to God, and after they had made Profession of entering in Covenant with him, have dealt Perfidiously and falsely in it, will be in a manner hissed at amongst devils and reprobate Pagans, who never had such offers, neither made such Professions: and their condemnation will be acknowledged to carry eminent and conspicuous desert in it: Because such had a good bargain, and dealt treacherously with God, and quite married it to themselves: they have often also much shame amongst men; even here: The man (saith Christ) That hears my sayings and does them not, is like unto a foolish builder, that built his house one the sand: and elsewhere he resembles rash engagers in profest Covenanting with him, to men who sit not down to count the cost, that begin to build, and not being able to finish, expose themselves to the Mockage, Scorn and Derision of all that pass by: Such and such a man (will some be ready to say) was a great Professor, but now behold what is become of him, take him up yonder, he seemed once to have some tenderness, but now he is quite turned aside, and become gross and loose: Men of any Moral honesty and ingenuity will be ashamed to break their word & to violate their engagements one to another in worldly matters: how much greater shame is it to break to God, and to deal falsely in his Covenant? 3. It hath deep reflections upon God: for the Covenant-breaker saith on the matter, that it repents him that ever he made it, for he hath never gotten good of it, and that God hath not been faithful in keeping to him, and that therefore he thought himself loosed from all its Obligation: Now will any of you dare to say, that the Covenant is ⟨p. 287⟩not a good bargain, or that God is not a good, responsible and faithful party to deal with? What iniquity have your Fathers found in me (saith the Lord to his Professing people, Jer. 2.) that they are gone so far from me? Come (saith he Micah 6.) Before the Mountains, and let the Hills hear my Controversy with you, what iniquity have ye found in me? wherein have I wearied you, testify against me. Sure, all that depart from God, rub reproach on Gods Covenant as a bad bargain, and on God as a bad and unfaithful party to deal with: O high and horrid practical Atheism and Blasphemy!
