Oh! it is a sad thing to be a self-destroyer, for what 1pity can there be? Who will pity a man or woman that is the cause of all their own evil, wilfully brings it upon themselves? You will say, Thank your selves, who will pity you? Oh! this will be the condition of all that perish; Neither God, nor Angels, nor Saints shall pity them: neither the Father out of whose loins they came 2shall pity them, nor the Mother out of whose body, for they shall see that they have undone themselves.

And besides, Oh the extreme vexation that there will be in mens spirits, when they shall be convinced of this, 1when the Lord shall present to them all the means they have had, and all the mercies they have enjoyed, so that their consciences shall fly in their faces and tell them, Oh you may thank your selves for this, it was that wretched heart of thine that thou hast so talked of, I told you of this before, Oh! that pride, and that hypocrisy, and that Self seeking, and that falseness of thine hath brought thee to all this. Oh this will be an eternal vexation, it will be the matter for the worm to gnaw upon in Hell hereafter, Oh! that we have destroyed our selves!
