Time was, when more care of the truly godly poor; when error was more odious; when Popery was more hated then now; when the name of a Toleration would have made Christians to have trembled; when Christians were better acquainted with their Bibles; when more time spent in secret Prayer; when more tender of one another's Names and Honours, would heal one another's Reputations, and would spread the lap of Charity over those mis-reports and scandals that might be cast upon them; when Christians rejoiced more in one another's good, and mourned in one another's sufferings; when Christians did more earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the Saints, &c.

Our fears be very great, but truly our provocations be greater; our dangers are great, but our sins greater: yet here is a word, here is matter of encouragement, that yet there is Balm in Gilead, Physic of Christs own composition, for the reviving and healing of a back-sliding people. Christians, Christ Jesus is become your Physician, he hath prescribed you a potion made up of these 3. ingredients, Self-Reflection, Holy Contrition, Through Reformation. Christians, now take this Receipt, Christ advises you, if you will not, there is no way but one, Or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy Candlestick.
