It is a great prerogative to be the Sons of God. John, the first Chapter and third verse. But to be Heirs and Heirs with Christ, (Rom. the eight Chapt,) of that heavenly inheritance is a wonderful privilege. How are we bound unto Almighty God? that where as he might have made us stones, or trees, or beasts, or such insensible and unreasonable creatures: it pleased his divine Majesty to make us men, the undoubted ⟨image 11⟩heirs of eternal happiness. Behold (dear brother) and consider that heaven is thine inheritance, eternal glory is thy patrimony; thou art borne to a kingdom, thou hast a title to it, & when thou doest depart this life thou shalt be sure to find it: If before thou depart this life thou do not loose thy right and title by thy sinful life.

Let every one therefore as he tendereth the salvation of his own soul, forsake his wicked ways and now begin to walk in the ways of the Lord: If heretofore thou hast profaned the Lords Sabbath, remember that henceforth thou sanctify it: If thou hast been a Blasphemer of the name of God, see that henceforth thou use it with all reverence: If thou hast been malicious, from henceforth be charitable: If thou hast been contentious, now learn to be peaceable: If thou hast been incontinent, now begin to be chaste: If thou hast been a drunkard, from henceforth be sober: & in a word. If thou hast been inclined to any sin, be sorry for it and forsake it: If thou hast neglected any good work: now begin to do it, that in so doing thou mayest inherit that eternal life which is promised and prepared for them that know the will of God and do it.
