What will become of Unbelievers? This Doctrine although' the most Comfortable word that can be spoken, contains in it a thunderbolt able to split the heart and shake the Soul of every Unbeliever under Heaven For it is as sure as the Gospel, that […] ⟨p. 41⟩continuing in their Unbelief shall not have Everlasting Life. Christ said to his Ministers, Go ye into all the World, and preach the Gospel to every Creature. And what must they say: He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved: But is that all that they must say? No, They must also say, He that believeth not shall be damned, Mark 16.15, 16. There are two sorts of Unbelief.
