Seventhly, Consider Christian, what pain Christ did take, and what misery he did undergo for thee. Thy soul was dearer to him than his own glory: and thy salvation, than his own life and blood. And shall not his glory, his commands be dearer to thee, Christian, than a little carnal ease? Think upon it, if thou hast any spark of ingenuity this consideration will prevail upon thee to set about this work.
I come now to propound some motives to stir up those that have not begun this work, to set about it. And those that have begun, to go on in this work.
First, Consider it is the command of God. It is not the voice of man, but of God. It ⟨p. 40⟩is God that speaks to thee, Commune with thy own hearts: Examine thy self. Christian, I urge the command of God upon thy Conscience, wilt thou obey or w•lt thou not? darest thou to set thy self against God! and set thy will above the will of God! O think upon it.
