And then Thirdly, It is a great and a sore evil to stop our 1ears against the calls to the most high God, against the calls of the word that calls you to the most high God; I say, to stop our ears against this is a sore and a dreadful evil. What, not answer to Gods call! Doth God call you, and you not answer to him? We say to a child, Your father calls you, or to a servant, your master calls you, will you not answer? Oh! to shut our ears against the call to the most high 2God is a dreadful thing, it will lie heavy upon thee one day, those calls thou haddest in thine ears will prove to be terrors in thine heart; Certainly, though thou lettest go the calls of the Word to the most high God, remember this one Note, The calls that thou haddest to the high God being neglected by thee, will prove terrors in thine heart; poor creature, what is it that thou listens to? what invitations doth take thy heart, that the calling to the most high cannot overcome thee?
