But to come more close; as it was said of the Adherents of Antichrist, so here; some of the Unconverted carry their Mark in the Foreheads more openly; and some in their Hands more covertly. The Apostle reckons up some, upon whom he writes the Sentence of Death, as in these dreadful Catalogues, which I beseech you to attend with all Diligence, Eph. 5.5, 6. For this you know, that no Whore-monger, nor unclean Person, nor covetous Man, who is an Idolater, hath any Inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ, and of God: Let no Man deceive you with vain Words; for because of these Things cometh the Wrath of God upon the Children of Disobedience, Rev. 21.8. But the fearful and unbelieving, and the abominable, and Murderers, and Whore-mongers, and Sorcerers, and Idolaters, and all Liars, shall have their Part in the Lake that burneth with Fire and Brimstone, which is the Second Death. 1 Cor. 6.9, 10. Know ye not, that the Unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither Fornicators, nor Idolaters, nor Adulterers, nor Effeminate, nor Abusers of themselves with Mankind, nor Thieves, nor Covetous, nor Drunkards, nor Revilers, nor Extortioners, shall inherit the Kingdom of God, See Gal. 5.19, 20, 21. Woe to them that have their Names written in these Bead-rolls: Such may know as certainly as if God had told it them from Heaven, that they are unsanctified, and under an Impossibility of being saved in this Condition.
