An Alarm to Unconverted Sinners

Fifthly, The Truth of God is sworn against thee. Psal. 95. 11. If he be true and faithful, thou must perish if thou goest on. Luke 13. 3. Unless he be false of his word, thou must die, except thou repent. Ezek. 33. 11. If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful, he cannot deny himself. 2 Tim. 2. 13. That is, he is faithful to his threatenings, as well as promises, and will show his faithfulness in our confusion, if we believe not.

Beloved, as the immutable faithfulness of God in his promise and oath, afford believers strong consolation; Heb. 6. 18. so they are to unbelievers, for strong consternation and confusion.

But if thou dost believe them, O heart of steel that thou hast, that canst walk up and down in quiet, when the truth and faithfulness of God in engaged ⟨p. 118⟩to destroy thee: that if God Almighty can do it, thou shalt surely perish, and be damned. Why man, the whole book of God doth testify against thee, while thou remainest unsanctified: it condemns thee in every leaf, and is to thee, like Ezekiel's roll, written within and without with lamentations, and mourning, and woe:
