The Second Vse.
But the main Use of this Point will be for Exhortation, that seeing all the offers of Christ are recorded and witnessed, with respect to a day of account, every one of you would therefore immediately embrace the present gracious tender of Christ in the Gospel, as ever you expect to be acquitted and cleared in that great day: take heed of denials, nay of delays and demurs; For if the word spoken by Angels were steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward; how shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? Heb. 2. 2, 3. The question is put, but no answer made; How shall we escape? The wisdom of Men and Angels cannot tell how to enforce this Exhortation; I shall present you with Ten weighty Considerations upon the matter, which the Lord follow home, by the blessing of his Spirit, upon all your Hearts.
