An Alarm to Unconverted Sinners

Oh think of thy case in time. Canst thou think of that threat without trembling, Ye shall die in your sins? John 8. 24. Oh better were it for thee to dye in a gaol, dye in a ditch, in a dungeon, than dye in thy sins. If death, as it will take away all thy other comforts, would take away thy sins too, it were some mitigation. But thy sins will follow thee, when thy friends leave thee, and all worldly enjoyments shake hands with thee. Thy sins will not dye with thee, 2 Cor. 5. 10. Rev. 20. 12. as a prisoners ⟨p. 124⟩other debts will; but they will to judgment with thee, there to be thine accusers; and they will to Hell with thee, there to be thy tormentors. Better to have so many fiends and furies about thee, than thy sins to fall upon thee and fasten in thee. Oh the work that these will make with thee! Oh look over thy debts in time. How much art thou in the books of every one of Gods laws? How is every one of Gods commandments ready to arrest thee, and take thee by the throat, for innumerable bonds that it hath upon thee? What wilt thou then do, when they shall altogether lay in against thee? Hold open the eyes of conscience to consider this, that thou mayest despair of thy self, and be driven to Christ, and fly for refuge, to lay hold upon the hope that is set before thee. Heb. 6. 18.
