EPHES. 5. 14. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and rise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.1
- 1Text. Of the state of Spiritual Death, and the misery thereof.

From hence therefore I shall make the first discovery of the woeful and wretched state of them that apply not Jesus Christ to their own souls.
