<p>Note, 1. The misery of sinners will be an eternal surfeit upon their sins: The <i>backslider in heart</i>, who for fear of suffering, or in hope of profit or pleasure, forsakes God and his duty, shall be <i>filled with his own ways</i>; God will give him enough of them. They would not leave their brutish lusts and passions, and therefore they shall stick by them, to their everlasting terror and torment. <i>He that is filthy shall be filthy still. “Son, remember</i>,” shall <i>fill them with their own ways</i>, and set their sins in order before them. Backsliding begins in the heart; it is the evil heart of unbelief that departs from God; and of all sinners backsliders will have most terror when they reflect on <i>their own ways</i>, <a class="bibleref" title="Luke.11.26" href="/passage/?search=Luke.11.26">Luke 11:26</a>. 2. The happiness of the saints will be an eternal satisfaction in their graces, as tokens of and qualifications for Gods peculiar favour: <i>A good man shall be</i> abundantly <i>satisfied from himself</i>, from what God has wrought in him. He has <i>rejoicing in himself alone</i>, <a class="bibleref" title="Gal.6.3" href="/passage/?search=Gal.6.3">Gal. 6:3</a>. As sinners never think they have sin enough till it brings them to hell, so saints never think they have grace enough till it brings them to heaven.</p>
