Hebrews10:27
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment, and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
But, is introducing the terrible Evil asserted to be expected when Sacrifice cannot help such Sinners, especial and certain terrible and dreadful (such as fills the Soul with Fears and Horrors) Expectation of Iudgment by their awakened Consciences, not knowing how soon it may come; as a Malefactor under Sentence, in daily Expectation of Execution, how doth he suffer it over and over? So will this Worm gnaw them: to which is synonymous, Mark 9.44. How must the Execution of the Sentence of the just Judge terrifie them?
When it must be by burning, or heat of Fire; wrath of Fire proceeding from an injured and wronged God, Ezek. 36.5. and 38.19. Zeph. 1.18. and 3.8. As in execution of just Vengeance, which like Fire devours and eateth them up, not putting an end to their being by Consumption, but perpetual piercing, searching, torturing, and this for Eternity.
These underhand Adversaries, [non-Latin text not transcribed], who are the most bitter Enemies of Christ and his Church, because secret ones, and seem to be by Profession otherwise, Mat. 25.41. Mark 9.43, 44. 2 Thess. 1.8, 9.
