Oh that such of you would now be persuaded t• repent and turn from all your transgressions; or else ⟨p. 76⟩iniquity will be your ruin! Ezek. 18. 30. Alas for poor hardened sinners! Must I leave you at last where you were? Must I leave the tippler still at the Ale-bench? Must I leave the wanton still at his dalliance? Must I leave the malicious still in his venom? And the drunkard still at his vomit? However you must know that you have been warned, and that I am clear of your blood. And whether men will hear, or whether they will forbear, I will leave these Scriptures with them, either as thunderbolts to awaken them, or as searing Irons to harden them to a reprobate sense, Psal. 68. 21. God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such a one, as goeth on still in his trespasses. Prov. 29. 1. He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. Prov. 1. 24, &c. Because I have called, and ye refused, I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded, &c. I will mock at your calamity —when your destruction cometh as a whirlwind.
