11. Consider what a dreadful thing it will be, if this door of Hope should be shut; though it is true, we have ⟨p. 415⟩some comfortable Evidence it shall not (as I shall speak more by and by) yet who knows but that through our wretchedness, and want of preparation of the hearts of the People of this Land, but that this door may be shut again: Oh! the dismal darkness if once it shut again! Oh! the contempt that will be upon all the Saints of God! Oh! the pride, and Rage, and Insolency of the Instruments of Antichrist against them, if this door be shut again! Oh then, if we should once again say, We looked for light, but behold darkness; Oh! it would be blackness of darkness then; what Flies would come out of the Land of Egypt then? How would all Superstition and Idolatry flow in upon us? what would become of your Posterity, and little ones? How would they ever be nourished up in the Knowledge of God and Christ? And you are not likely to enjoy your outward Estates neither: if any of you think you have back doors to get out from Religion to keep your Estates, you may be mistaken, if this door be shut: therefore you have need to follow God all you can in this way to keep it open.
