7. Doth it not suppose forgetfulness of Death and Judgment? Of Heaven and Hell? Couldst thou without horror, think of dying without love to Christ; When to dye so once, would be to dye for ever? Without trembling couldst thou think of Judgment, when for want of love to Christ thou shalt certainly be damned, whenever thou appearest at his Judgment-bar? Or of Heaven, when thou must never enter into it? Or of Hell, when thou must certainly be cast into it for want of love to Christ?
8. Doth it not suppose great carelessness of thine own Soul? For canst thou love thy Soul, and not love Christ the Saviour of the Soul? Canst thou take care of the Salvation of thy Soul, and take no care to love him that is the purchaser, and the donor of eternal Salvation? Is such a litter of sins in the heart void of the love of Christ? And wilt thou after this, make so light a matter of it?
