2. Consider the sad condition of such as believe not according to a right Gospel-believing; they are such as are liable to the dreadfullest touches from the Devil that possibly can be; He that believeth is born of God, overcomes the World, and is enabled to keep himself, that the wicked one doth not touch him with a mortiferous touch; but I tell thee whatever thou art, that art under the power of unbelief, thou art in danger of a dreadful touch from the Prince of darkness; and if thou livest and diest in a state of unbelief, thou wilt fall ⟨p. 124⟩under the power of condemnation. Remember what our Saviour speaks, and consider well of it, You stand out in opposition to my Doctrine; but I tell you, Except you believe that I am He, you shall dye in your sins; A dreadful word! you shall die in your sins, and what then, be damned eternally. This is the condition of all such as are in a state of unbelief: but then, on the other hand, in case we be able to give a good account of our believing that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and of our believing on him concerning whom these Testimonies are given, Oh what cause have all such to rejoice in their condition! The condition of such persons is happy beyond all expression and comprehension, who have owned these Truths, owned that Jesus of whom the faithful Testimonies are given.
