Carrie home this lesson to your great Townes and Cities where you dwell,1 for in ⟨p. 96⟩these populous places,2 are these great mockers, for where God hath his professors, the Devil hath his mockers; and repent betimes of this sin, for hold on in mocking, and be sure that God (who will not be mocked) will remove his Gospel from you; but if you leave this sin, and entertain the Gospel (as it worthily deserveth,) then be sure of it, that God will continue the Gospel, to you, and your posterity after you, in the face of all your enemies round about you.
