What can be more just? – Thomas Brooks

Remember this, that as Noah was drunk with his own wine, and as Goliath was beheaded by his own sword, and as the rose is destroyed by the canker that it breeds in itself, and as Agrippina was killed by Nero, to whom she gave breath; so if ever you are eternally destroyed you will be destroyed by yourselves! If ever you are undone, you will be undone by yourselves! If ever you are scourged to death, it will be by rods of your own making! And if ever the bitter cup of damnation be put into your hands, it will be found to be of your own preparing, mingling, and embittering!

Behold, I have set life and death, heaven and hell, glory and misery, before you in this treatise; and therefore, if you will needs choose . . .
death rather than life,
hell rather than heaven,
misery rather than glory,
what can be more just than that you should perish to all eternity? If you will not have God for your portion, you shall be sure to have His wrath for your portion, and hell for your portion! Every man shall only thank . . .
his own folly for his own bane,
his own sin for his own everlasting shame,
his own iniquity for his own endless misery!
