Luke12:5

5 But I will forewarn you whom you shall fear, Fear him, which after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell, yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

See the Notes on Matth. 10.28. where we met with the same, from this to the 13. v. our Saviour Armeth his Disciples, to encounter those storms of Persecution, which he knew they would meet with after he should be taken up into Heaven. Here are two Arguments in this Verse, 1. The one drawn from the Impotency, or Limited Power of the most Malicious Enemies; they can Kill the Body, but can do no more, 2. From the mighty Power of God, who can cast us into Hell, Matthew saith, who c[illegible: 1 letter]n cast Body and Soul into Hell Fire: Whence is evident, 1. That there are punishments beyond this Life, all Mens Punishments will not end with the killing of their Bodies, 2. That Men have Soul[illegible: 1 letter], as well as Bodies, and both Souls and Bodies of Sinners will in the Resurrection▪ be made capable of Eternal Punishment. 3. That the ready way to bring us under that Misery, is to be more afraid of the wrath of Men than of the wrath of God.
