Ultima, = the last things in reference to the first and middle things

Nay, if it once come to this, with what infinite horror and restless anguish will this conceit rent a mans heart in pieces, and gnaw upon his conscience, when he considers in hell, that he hath lost heaven for a lust: and whereas he might at every Sermon had even the Son of God his husband for the very taking, and have lived with him for ever in unspeakable bliss; yet neglecting so great salvation, must now lie in unquenchable flames, without all ease or end. Sure it is the highest honour that can be imagined, that the Son of God should make suit unto sinful souls to be their husband,¹ and yet so it is; he stands at the door and knocks, if you will give him entrance, he will bring himself and heaven into your hearts:² We are Christs Ambassadors (saith the Apostle) as though God did beseech you by us, we pray you in Christs stead, to be reconciled to God. We are Christs spokes-men, that I may so speak, to woo you and win you unto him; now what can you say for your selves, that you stand out? why come you not in? if the Devil would give you leave to speak out, and in plain terms, one would say, I had rather be damned then leave my drunkenness, another, I love the world better then Jesus Christ; a third, I will not part with my easy and gainful trade of Usury for the treasure hid in the field; and so on; so that upon the matter, you must needs all confess that you hereby judge your selves unworthy of everlasting life, that you are wilful bloody murderers of your own souls: nay, and if you go on without repentance, you may expect that the hellish gnawing of Conscience for this one sin of refusing Christ, may perhaps hold scale with the united horrors of all the rest whatsoever. O then make haste out of sin, and come, come to Christ, so freely offered unto you! Hark how he calls, Come unto me all sinners, see my arms spread, my heart open. O how gladly would I entertain you, if you would come unto me: here is a general invitation indeed, all men, all sinners, of all estates, of all kinds, of all conditions, ⟨p. 191⟩whosoever you are, he keeps open house for you, Come and welcome.

Nay, if it once come to this, with what infinite horrour and restlesse anguish will this conceit rent a mans heart in pieces, and gnaw upon his conscience, when he considers in hell, that he hath lost heaven for a lust: and whereas he might at every Sermon had even the Son of God his husband for the very taking, and have lived with him for ever in unspeakable blisse; yet neglecting so great salvation, must now lie in unquenchable flames, without all ease or end. Sure it is the highest honour that can be imagined, that the Sonne of God should make suit unto sinfull souls to be their husband,
