Making light of Christ and salvation too oft the issue of gospel invitations manifested…

What think you now friends of this business? Do you not see by this time what a case that Soul is in that maketh light of Christ and Salvation? What need then is there that you should take heed lest this should prove your own case: The Lord knows it is too common a case. Whoever is found guilty at the last of this sin, it were better for that man he had never been born. It were better for him he had been a Turk or Indian, that never had heard the Name of a Saviour, and that never had Salvation offered to him: For such men have no Cloak for their sin, John 15. 22. Besides all the rest of their sins, they have this killing sin to answer for, which will undo them. And this will aggravate their misery: That Christ whom they set light by, must be their Judge, and for this sin will he judge them. Oh that such would now consider how they will answer that Question that Christ puts to their Predecessors, Mat. 23. 33. How will ye escape the Damnation of Hell? or ⟨p. 26⟩Heb. 2▪ 3. How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? Can you escape without a Christ? or will a despised Christ save you then? If he be accursed that set light by Father or Mother, Deut. 27. 16. What then is he that sets light by Christ? It was the heinous sin of the Jews, that among them were found such as set light by Father and Mother, Ezek. 22. 7. But among us men slight the Father of Spirits. In the Name of God Brethren, I beseech you to consider how you will then bear his Anger which you now make light of? You that cannot make light of a little sickness or want, or of natural Death, no not of a Tooth-ache, but groan as if you were undone, how will you then make light of the Fury of the Lord, which will burn against the Contemners of his Grace? Doth it not behove you beforehand to think of these things?
