6. Art thou not a Captive to Satan and to Sin? Drudging Elbow deep in the loathsome Service of Sin? Is not thy Bondage more hard than that of the Israelites in Egypt? And is not Satan and Sin as Cruel and Tyrannical as Pharaoh and his Taskmasters? Dost thou love thy Chains? Art thou at ease in thy Fetters? Wouldst thou be released? Christ will be thy Redeemer, by Price and by Power, and make thee free; and then thou shalt be free indeed.
7. Art thou not an Enemy to God? Born so, and Lived so? Take heed thou dost not dye so, for then there shall be no Peace, no making up the breach betwixt God and thy Soul. But now Christ is the blessed Peace-maker, and by the Blood of his Cross he will reconcile thee unto God, Col. 1.20, 21. God will never be reconciled to thee, but in, and through Christ, 2 Cor. 5.18, 19.
8. Art thou not spiritually Dead? Hast thou not lost the holy Image of God, which was thy Beauty? Though thou art Dead, he can quicken thee, and give thee the Life of Grace and Glory, 1 Joh. 5.12.
