CHAP. VI. Ʋses drawn from Gods Immortality.
IS God an immortal God? then hence behold the infinite love of Christ, who being immortal, yet would become subject to death; an immortal God, become a mortal man for our salvation▪ Rom. 5. 8.
2 Seeing God is immortal, hence we may see what a beam of divine perfection we lost by the fall of A∣dam; we were made immortal, but our sin makes us mortal, and liable to all mortal and sore diseases; we lose a double immortality be∣cause of sin, the immortality of our bodies; and which is worse, in some sense, we lose the immortality of our souls; Sin brings eternal death; will ye still go in sin? hath it not done enough to you, in making you obnoxious to death, but will ye bring upon you the eternal death of your immortal souls?

3. This likewise should allay the fears of death in us, God being immortal, we also shall be immor∣tal; these mortal bodies shall put on immortality.
4. See that ye fear God more then men, the wrath of God more then the rage of men; be∣cause man is but mortal, and their rage and fury is but mortal; when their breath goeth forth their rage ceaseth; but as God is immortal, so is his wrath an immortal wrath, as he will never cease to be, so the fire of his wrath shall never be quenched.
