But look we a little into these your words, you will convert hereafter. Fall they not into these two parts? 1. We will not Convert now. 2. We will hereafter.

First, You will not Convert now. That is, You will abide Rebels to God, Devils to your self, Vassals to the Devil, Idolizers of this vain World, &c. This you will do; though you know it Unjust, Unsafe, Unprofitable; Ungrateful, and all that is worst. And though you would ⟨p. 417⟩think it hard, if God should hold you in such a state, against your Wills. Or suffer Satan to keep you in it by force. This you will do, though you know if God should now use you like your selves, (that is, like unreconcilable Enemies, even against his very entreaties;) you must be sent quick to Hell. Though you know too, that every sin you commit, makes Conversion harder, if ever it be made; and Hell hotter for you, if it be not made. This ye will do; of Choice you will. And because you will; without any Reasons that you dare to produce, or let mortal Men hear you speak.
