The truly blessed man

2. This is a fearful burden, whether you apprehend it to be so or no, it is so in it self, and will be sooner or later experienced so to be by you. Who can tell the weight of all these fearful Curses which God hath in his righteous Law, declared against those that are under the Guilt o• Sin? ask those that have felt it, under the Terrors of an awakened Conscience, and they will tell you, that if all the mountains in the World had lain upon them, it could not have been more heavy. It contains in it the Wrath of that God before whom the Devils tremble, whose Hand is Omnipotent, a frown of whose Countenance is able to dissolve the Creation, whose Rebuke can blast the Creature at once, Psal. 31.11.

3. If therefore this Guilt abide on you, it will sink you into perdition. It will be your unavoidable and everlasting ruin; the fire of the Wrath which is kindled by it, will, if not put out by his grace, burn to the uttermost hell: it will never leave till it hath crushed you down into the bottomless pit; however you may seem to stout it out for the present, you will certainly fall before
