What would you think of such a man, who should come to beg a Pardon; and yet, before the Pardon were given out, should run to commit new acts of Treason? This is thy case.
I see many of you living in a Course of sin; Potting, swilling, swearing. I am ashamed to name them.
Do you pray for a Pardon? Or do you not pray? If you do not pray, you are no better than Atheists. And do you pray for a Pardon, and yet live in the practice of those sins, you beg pardon of? Oh! what fearful dallying with GOD is here!
Do you pray for a Pardon? Or do you not pray? If you do not pray, you are no better than Atheists. And do you pray for a Pardon, and yet live in the practice of those sins, you beg pardon of? Oh! what fearfull dallying with GOD is here!
Oh! you little think what a strong tie this is against sin, To pray for the pardon of sin. What? Have you been confessing sin, humbling your souls for sin; begging of Pardon of Sin? And, no sooner turn your backs upon God, but return to Sin? Ah! This is fearful dallying indeed.
