A 2d use, serves wonderfully to check and reprove the senseless secure multitude that have the common ⟨p. 41⟩profession of the faith of these things, and yet are utterly careless to have this most concerning question clearly, distinctly, convincingly, and satisfyingly answered, whither they shall die in the Lord? Certainly there are many of you when your souls shall dislodge that will find yourselves exceedingly mistaken in this matter; O! If we could pity and lament over the lamentable condition of many of you who are so senseless, stupid, and unconcerned, that what ever is spoken of the life to come and of the necessity of making your peace with God through Jesus Christ, it is as if it were spoken to so many stocks or stones as to any suitable effect it hath upon you, for who of many of you quit their profaneness, formality, hypocrisy, and security? Who through grace mends any thing faulty and amiss? Or sets more timeously and seriously about the learning of this great lesson of dying in the Lord? The supine, lazy, and gross neglect of all which, bids you look for and lay your account to meet with the deeper, sorer, and sadder challenges at your death and appearance before Gods terrible tribunal.
