I answer, true, but even as these wretches could not believe their Father, because by hardening themselves in evil they had made themselves obstinate against every thing that crossed their carnal desires. It is a fearful sin Brethren, to be no otherwise affected to the threats denounced against your sins by Gods Ministers, then as these graceless young men, even to think them but words of sport, counterfeit words which have no truth nor substance in them, but were very mockery and scoffage: so thought these foolish fellows, but in the morning they were made to feel what they would not believe at midnight; when they scorched in the flames, they in vain repented their ill entertainment of their Father in Laws speeches and persuasions, and to no purpose wished that they had been over-entreated by him. A number of you live in the self-same sin, he that threatens hell-fire and destruction against you, for your drunkenness, filthiness, revenge, worldliness, is counted a mocker, an idle fellow, that knows not what he saith, but must say something when he is gotten into his Pulpit, and no more reckoning do you make of it: but when death hath carried your souls to hell, then you shall too late accuse your own folly, and wish you had hearkened with more belief. O accept these threats with faith, that they may draw you out of sin and save you out of hell.
