There are Sinners, as it were hanged up in Chains, by the Judgments of God. Formidable Spectacles; But God can make them to be Profitable Spectacles.

Don't you see, That Whoremonger & Adulterers God will Judge. Their Estates have a secret Curse upon them; They fall under Unaccountable Impoverishments.

Yea, They Die in Youth, because their Life is among the Unclean.
