The sins of the old World cried them down to Hell, the sins of Sodom fetched upon them Fire from Heaven, which devoured them; the sins of the Egyptians cried them down to Hell, because they came not to Jesus Christ for Life. Coming-sinner, thy sins are no whit less than any; Nay, perhaps, they are as big as all theirs: Why is it then that thou livest when they are dead, and that thou hast a promise of Pardon when they had not? Why thou art coming to Jesus Christ, and therefore sin shall not be thy ruin.

Thirdly, As Satan, and Sin; so the Law of Moses, as it is a Perfect Holy Law, hath a Voice against thee before the Face of God: There is one that accuseth you▪ even Moses's Law, Jo. 5. Yea, it accuseth all Men of Transgression, that have sinned against it; for as long as Sin is Sin, there will be a Law to accuse for Sin: But this Accusation shall not prevail against the Coming-Sinner; because 'tis Christ that dyed, and that ever lives, to make Intercession for them that Come to God by him, Rom. 8. Heb. 7. 25.
These things, I say, do accuse us before Christ Jesus; yea, and also to our own Faces, if perhaps they might prevail against us. But these words, I will in no wise cast out, secureth the Coming-Sinner from them all.
