[ 1359] Fear of Hell to be a restraint from the least Sin.

THe passage in Scripture is well known how Nebuchadnezzar erected a Gol∣den Image with this terrible commination,* 1.1 That whosoever would not fall down and worship it, should be cast into the fiery Furnace; This now was so terrible to every one that heard it, that unlesse it were three or four, there were none that did resist, the very fear of a Fiery Furnace made them do any thing; And shall not then the fear of those eternall flames, the fear of that great day wherein God shall reveal all wrath without any mercy to the Wicked man, shall not this turn him out of the wayes of Sin? shall not this make him with bitternesse bewail his former lusts? and to hate those bitter-sweets of pleasure,* 1.2 which er'st he so much delighted in, saying with Ionathan, I have tasted a little honey and I must dye, I have had a little pleasure of Sin, and I must be damn'd for evermore.
