Six signs of the maturity of Sin.
When •inners are even dead ripe for hell, these signs appear upon them, or by these at least, you may conclude those souls not to be far from wrath, upon whom they appear.

When conscience is wafted and grown past feeling, having no remorse for •in; when it ceases to check, reprove and smite for sin any more, the day of that sinner is at hand, his harvest is even come. The greatest violation of conscience is the greatest of sins; this was the case of the forlorn Gentiles, among whom Satan had such a plentiful harvest; the patience of God suffered them to grow till their consciences were grown seared and past feeling, Eph. 4. 19. When a member is so mortified, that if you lan•e and cut it never so much, no fresh blood, or quick flesh appears, nor doth the man feel any pain in all this, then it's time to cut it off.
