A Warning to Sinners to Flee from the Wrath to Come

Nathaniel Vincent (1639-1697) was a nonconformist puritan divine. His colleagues called him “smart…brisk and well-rounded as a minister of the Gospel, holding a facetious and jolly humor, as well as being a considerable scholar.”

In this timely evangelical work that should be shared with everyone, Vincent states that "sin will have a very bad end." Original and actual sin will send a man, woman, or child to hell unless they are converted by Jesus Christ. All that have gone into another world are sensible of it, though few in this world perceive it. When the servants of sin have received their wages, which is death, then they will know their sorrow. They will know what kind of master they have served, and what pains they foolishly took for that misery, which they should have taken pains to have prevented. Vincent explains Romans 14:10, "We shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ." He covers the Judge (God), those who will be judged (all men), things which are to be judged (all thoughts, actions and deeds) and the certainty of judgment. He also covers Matthew 11:23, "And thou Capernaum, which are exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell!" Here he gives application and a warning: turn to God, or be turned into hell.
