SECT. II.
11. TO be deceived about your Title to Heaven, is exceeding easy; and not to be deceived, is exceeding difficult. This I make manifest to you thus.

- 1§. 2. Motive 1.
11. Multitudes that never suspected any falsehood in their hearts, have yet proved unsound in the day of Trial; and they that never feared any danger toward them, have perished for ever: Yea many that have been confident of their integrity and safety. I shall adjoin the proofs of what I say, in the Margin for brevity sake. How many poor souls are now in Hell, that little thought of coming thither? and that were wont to despise their counsel that bid them Try and make sure? And to say, They made no doubt of their Salvation?
