4. The Day of judgment will be concluded with the Pronunciation and Execution of a most terrible Sentence upon all Christless Sinners. The man whom God has ordained to to judge the world, (h. e. his Son Jesus Christ') will then pronounce a Sentence of eternal death upon as many as shall be found in their Sins. How will their Hearts ache, and every joint Tremble▪ when they shall hear that Sentence wherein every word does ⟨p. 76⟩breathe forth Death and fire Mat. 25 41. Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels. There will be no appealing from this Sentence, nor shall it ever be reversed. And the Sentence will no sooner be pronounced, but Execution will be done immediately. For the Angels of Heaven will be all standing by, and see it done forthwith. The Sentence is, That sinners must be burnt to death for ever, that they must be thrown alive into the lake which burns with fire and Brimstone. The Holy Angels will see this done. They are the Reapers that shall gather the Tares together, and bind them in bundles to burn them. Mat. 13.30.
