Hear O ye scorners, hear the word of the Lord. Though you have made a sport of godliness, and the professors thereof; though you have made a scorn of Christ, and of his ways; yet, even to you doth he call, to gather you under the wings of his mercy, Prov. 1. 22, 33. In a word, though you should be sound among. the worst of that black roll, 1 Cor. 6. 9, 10. yet, upon your through Conversion, you shall be washed, you shall be justified, you shall be sanctified, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of ou• God, ver. 11.

Ho, every formal professor, that art but a luke-warm and dough-baked Christian, and ⟨p. 212⟩restest in the form of godliness, give over thy halving, and thy halting; be a throughout Christian, and be zealous and repent, and then though thou hast been an offence to Christ's stomach, thou shalt be the joy of his heart, Rev. 3. 16, 19, 20.
