Art thou yet in ignorance, and not turned from darkness to light? why thou art under the power of Satan. Act. 26. 18. Dost thou live in the ordinary and wilful practice of any known sin? Know that thou art of the Devil. 1 John 3. 8. Dost thou live in strife, or envy, or malice? Verily he is thy father. John 8. 40, 41. Oh dreadful case! However Satan may provide his slaves with divers pleasures; Tit. 3. 3. yet it is but to toll them into endless perdition. The Serpent comes with the apple in his mouth, Oh but (with Eve) thou seest not the deadly sting in his tail• He that is now thy tempter, will be one day thy tormentor. Oh that I could but give thee to see how black a master thou servest, how filthy a drudgery thou dost, how merciless a tyrant thou gratifyest, all whose pleasure is, to set thee on work to make thy perdition and damnation sure, and to heat the furnace hotter and hotter, in which thou must burn for millions of millions of ages.
