V. A dead Man is void of all Sense, he sees not, feels not, hears not: If you cast Fire in his Face, 'tis all one to him; or if you run a Sword into his Heart, he will not complain; lay Mountains of Lead upon him, he feels them not, &c. So those who are dead in Sin, are senseless Souls. Tho the Anger of God is kindled against them, and his Wrath burns never so hot, they regard it not; nay tho you throw as it were Hell-Fire into their very Faces, yet they fear it not: Tho there are upon them great Mountains of Sin, and horrid Guilt, yet they feel them not, &c.

VI. A dead Man cannot be raised to Life again, without the mighty Power of God: So the Dead in Sin cannot be raised to Life, without the mighty Power of God's Spirit. Christ, who raised dead Lazarus out of the Grave, must quicken such who are dead in Sins and Trespasses. The Ephesians are said to believe according to the Working of God's mighty Power, 1which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the Dead.
