Sighs from hell, or, The groans of a damned soul discovering from the 16th…

how many of you are there at this very day, that have been told once and again of your lost undone condition, because you want the right, real, and saving work of God upon your souls? I say, hath not this been told you, yea, testified unto you from time to time, that your state is miserable, that yet you are never the better, but do still stand where you did; some in an open ungodly life, and some drowned in a self-conceited holiness of Christianity?

How so? Because they are all condemned together, they have all fallen under the same Law▪ and have all offended the same Justice; and must for certain, if they dye in that condition, drink as deep, if not deeper, of the same destruction. Mark, I pray you what the Scriptures say, He that believeth not, is condemned already,
