Love to Christ, necessary to escape the curse at his coming

To gain your love to Christ, he expressly threatens Damnation that is so great, it cannot be fully expressed, and lets the Sinner know, that Consent and Love he must, or be Damned he must. He doth let in such light into the Mind, that the Soul doth see there is is no way to escape the darkness of Hell, than by consenting to Christ that came from Heaven; and Christ presseth hard upon the Conscience of the Sinner, whom he Wooeth for his Love, saying, Poor Sinner! What dost thou mean? To be Damned rather than to have me for thy Saviour? To go to Hell with thy Lusts, than to Heaven with me the Lord? What wilt thou do? Shall I have thy Love or No? Wilt thou at last consent, or wilt thou still refuse? I tell thee plainly, if I and thou part, Hell and thou must meet. I have been Wooing long, and Waiting long, but now it is come to a parting, or a closing point, ⟨p. 178⟩and it is time for thee to come to a resolution. This is the Case, Deny my Suit, and God will Damn thy Soul: If thou hear not me, thou shalt howl in Hell: If I leave thee, God will leave thee, and Mercy will leave thee, and all Misery will come upon thee. Poor Sinner! Consider the issue of thy final refusal of me, and of denying thy love to me.
