Two treatises tending to awaken secure sinners viz., 1. The terror of the day…

Many a good Motion is now made by the Spirit to the Heart of a Sinner, which he doth not so much as once observe; and therefore doth not now remember them. But then they shall be brought to his Remembrance with a witness. Many a thousand secret Motions to Repentance, to Faith, to a holy Life, will be then set before the Eyes of the poor, unpardoned, trembling Sinner, which he had quite forgotten: And the Spirit of God shall testify to his Confusion. [At such a Sermon I persuaded thy Heart to repent, and thou wouldst not; at such a time I showed thee the Evil of thy Sin, and persuaded thee to have forsaken it, but thou wouldst not; I minded thee in thy secret Thoughts, of the nearness of Judgment, and the certainty and weight of everlasting things, the need of Christ, and Faith, and Holiness, and of the danger of Sinning; but thou didst drown all my Motions in the Cares and Pleasures of the World. Thou hearkenedst rather to the Devil than to me; the sensual Inclinations of thy Flesh did prevail against the strongest Arguments that I used: Though I showed Reasons, undeniable Reasons, from thy Creator, from thy Redeemer, from Nature, from Grace, from Heaven and from Hell; yet all would not so much as stop thee, much less turn thee, but thou wouldest go on; thou wouldest follow thy Flesh, and now let it pay thee the Wages of thy Folly; thou wouldest be thy own Guide, and take thine own Course, and now take what thou gettest by it.]
