Man ashiv le-Yahoweh, or, A serious enquiry for a suitable return for continued life,…

But if thou dost believe this Word to be true, what aileth thee then to live as thou dost? that thou actest quite contrary to what is contained in the Word of God? Doth not the Word of God in a thousand places cry down sin, and press to holiness? doth it not tell thee, the drunkard, the covetous, the unbelieving, the liar, shall ⟨p. 72⟩be damned? If thou never didst observe such places, take thy Bible and turn unto them. 1 Cor. 6.9, 10. Rev. 21.8. Heb. 12.14. Gal. 5.20. to 25. Col. 3.5, 6. Eph. 5.5, 6. Mar. 16.16. Mat. 18.3. Luk. 13.3, 5. Canst thou read and believe these Scriptures to be true, and yet go on in the practice of those things that the eternal, holy God doth forbid upon pain of eternal torments? Wilt thou be worse than thy very beast, which thou canst not force into the fire when he seeth it before him. Shall I call out thy Neighbours to behold a dreadful sight, viz. A man that knows he is in the way to Hell, and yet will go on.
