When hast thou ever done so for thy sin?—And Herod heard John Baptist gladly, and reformed many things: Surely the Argument will hold as well, That such as are in Hell have done as much good as I have, as some that are in Heaven have committed as great sins as I have: O! it's not enough for thee that others do sin; they may be saved, and yet thou mayest eternally be destroyed: This will not be a plea to a mans Conscience, if it be enlightened, when he comes upon his sick-bed, & death-bed: Though now thou canst put off thy Conscience with this, that every one hath their sin, but when thou comest upon thy sick-bed, and death-bed, if God enlighten thy Conscience, O, it will not be answer enough for thee, when thou feest thou art going before the great God, ⟨p. 104⟩to receive the sentence of thy eternal doom, then thou wilt have such miss-givings in thy Conscience; O! but what if it prove that my sins be of another nature different from the sins of the godly, if it prove so, I am undone, I am cut off for ever.
