Hebrews12:8
8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
But if God chasten ye not, or if he do, and ye have not Grace, or do not rightly endure it, are not managing your selves well under it, nor are profited by it, when all and every one of his Children are partakers of it, then are ye a false and spurious Seed, and not God's genuine Offspring, Bastards in his account; and indeed so the most forlorn, wretched persons of all others, left under the Power and Dominion of Sin, hurrying them on to their utter Destruction, Iohn 8.41. These Visible Church-Members have a Bastardly disposition, Hearts alienated from God and his Law, and inclined to the Will and Works of the Flesh, expressing it in their conversation, running into the excess of Sin, having no chastning to restrain them, and are deserted by God for it, Isa. 1.4, 5, 6. Hos. 4.14, 17.
