VII. The Law dischargeth all its Threats and Curses at thee, Gal. 3.10. Rom. 7. Oh, how dreadfully doth it thunder▪ It spits Fire and Brimstone in thy Face: Its Word• •re as drawn Swords, and as the sharp Arrows of the Mighty: It demands Satisfaction to the Utmost, and cries, Justice, Justice: It speaks Blood, and War, and Wounds, and Death against thee. O the Execrations, and Plagues, and Deaths that this murdering Piece is loaded with! (read Deut. 28.15, 16, &c.) and thou art the Mark at which this Shot is levelled. O Man! away to thy strong Hold, Zech. 9.12.

Is it not a dreadful Case •o have the Gospel itself fill its Mouth with Threats •nd Thunder and Damnation? To have the Lord to roar from Mount Zion against thee? Joel 3.16. Hear the Terror of the Lord, He that believeth not, shall be damned: Except ye repent, ye shall all perish,
