R. 3. You have the Promises of as good things, as the Oldest People have, if you do Convert presently: Therefore 'tis your Duty. The very Command of God, without a Threat, would have made it your Duty. And so would his Threats, if no one Promise had been superadded. But what think you that all do make it? Consider ye here, God promises you Spiritual, Temporal, and Eternal Blessings: And the very same that he promises to Converts of the fullest Age. And also with as well confirmed Promises; as well confirmed by his Oath, and by outward visible Signs and Seals; or Holy Sacraments, as the Church hath long called them. A Consideration, enough to make the least Intelligent Babies sing Hosanna's! With Reverence to the Father of Mercies, I will say it; He hath no better or greater Blessings to give, than he doth this Morning offer to bestow, on all that will Convert this Morning. And on the very least of you all: Neither will he think Eternity too long for your Reward, if you will not think your Life-time too long for his Service. A single Minutes aversion from it, deserveth Hell: But, such is his Grace through our Redeemer, that in the very Minute of your sincere Conversion, he gives you a Title to Heaven. Young People; whatever is done by Old Adders, pray do not you stop your Ears. I would fain have this day to be your Coronation-day; so it will be, if it be your Conversion-day. In Scripture dialect you are Kings and Queens, the first Minute that ye be Converts: Yea, and more Glorious ones, than any Unsanctified Heads that bear those Names. If the greatest Earthly Kings and Queens, knew the Vanity of their Thrones, they would gladly part with them for one Evidence of Interest at the Heavenly one. But, wot it: If any Convert upon the Earthly Globe, did but know his Interest in Heaven, he must presently live by Miracle, or die for Joy. So weighty is the Crown of Grace it self: So overwhelming a Glory, unto us in the Body. You are ready to think, this is too good to be true. But hear ye then the most sure word of Prophecy. Act. 2.39. The self-same Promise is to Fathers and Children. The Covenant of Grace is but one for both. Of the same Promises to them, as of the same Demands from them. And ask ye, what in this Covenant is Promised? I tell you, 2 Cor. 6.16. God promises to be the God of every Convert, 1 Cor. 3.21. That all things (desirable) shall be theirs.
