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

He is condemned as well as they, having broken the same Law with them: if so, then what ⟨p. 108⟩hinders, but they will partake of the same destruction with them? only the one hath not the Law yet so executed upon them, because they are here; the other have had the Law executed upon them, they are gone to drink that which they have been brewing, and thou art brewing that in this life, which thou must certainly drink. The same Law, I say, is in force against you both, only he is executed, and thou art not. Just as if there were a company of Prisoners at the Bar, and all condemned to dye; what, because they are not all executed in one day, therefore shall they not be executed at all? Yes, the same Law that executed its severity upon the parties now deceased, will for certain be executed on them that are alive, in its appointed time. Even so it is here, we are all condemned by nature, if we close not in with the Grace of God by Jesus Christ, we must and shall be destroyed with the same destruction; and therefore, send him (saith he) lest, Mark, lest they come into this place of torment.

Again, Send him to my Fathers house and let him testify to them, lest they come into this place of torment. As if he had said, I• may be he may prevail with them; It may be he may win upon them, and so they may be kept from hence, from coming into this grievous place of torment. Observe again, That there is a possibility of obtaining mercy, if now, I say, now in this day of Grace we turn from our sins ⟨p. 109⟩to Jesus Christ; yea, it is more then possible. And therefore for thy encouragement, do thou know for certain, that if thou shalt in this thy day accept of mercy upon Gods own Terms, and close with him effectually, God hath promised, yea, made many Promises, that thy Soul shall be conducted safe to glory, and shall for certain escape all the evils that I have told thee of; I, and many more then I can imagine. Do but search the Scriptures, and see how full of consolation they are to a poor Soul that is minded to close in with Jesus Christ. He that cometh to me (saith Christ) I will in no wise cast out. Though he be an old sinner, I will in no wise cast him out. Mark, in no wise, though he be a great sinner, I will in no wise cast him out, if he come to me. Though he have slighted me never so many times, and not regarded the welfare of his own Soul, yet let him now come to me, and notwithstanding this, I will in no wise cast him out, nor throw away his Soul,
