2. Christ will condemn the Sensual: I mean such who are […] from denying themselves, crucifying the flesh, mortifying ⟨p. 183⟩the deeds of the body, taking up the cross, walking in the narrow way of strict obedience, striving to enter in at the strait gate, which alone can bring unto eternal life and happiness, and subjugating their thoughts, will, and affections unto the government of Christ, and so living as if they were his servants indeed whose name they hear; that they labour either to imprison, or banish, or hide themselves from the light of those truths which would teach them these things, to bribe or muzzle conscience which would urge them, yea to shake off the government of reason it self, which would put a curb upon them, and so give up themselves to licentiousness, making provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof with all greediness; such who are so far degenerated and fallen from that primitive holiness which nature was endued with at the first creation, that they have lost the relicts of Gods Image and blotted out the characters of his law engraven upon the hearts of all men, and have made themselves like beasts, yea more vile than the beasts that perish; such are they that are sensual and luxurious, and seek for their chiefest happiness in pleasing their sensual appetites; such are drunkards, and gluttons, and adulterers, who wallow in the mire of such sins, who spend their days in such pleasures, and gather as much of them as they can find, without any regard to Gods Law, which doth forbid them, or to those higher, sweeter pleasures which they are capable of, and might obtain if they did seek after them in the way which God hath appointed; All these which fulfil the desires of the flesh are children of wrath, Eph 3. 3. and they which please themselves, and live deliciously here, will have torment and sorrow given them by Christ at his appearance, Rev. 18. 7. Luke 6. 25.
