It is a poor portion you have set it out to us, but every one will go away and say, I hope it is not I, I hope it is not I, I hope God hath a better portion for me than this; therefore give me leave to speak in the Name of God to you, and I'll only speak from God, and out of His Word to you, to point out the man and woman, that is like to have his portion here, living and dying in such a Condition, I now am speaking of; that man that is in such a condition I shall open to you, in the present condition wherein he is, is certainly the man, and the Lord pronounces it this day, that his portion is in this world. Who is he?
