A word to sinners, and a word to saints The former tending to the awakening the consciences of secure sinners, unto a lively sense and apprehension of the dreadful condition they are in, so long as they live in their natural and unregenerate estate. The latter tending to the directing and persuading of the godly and regenerate unto several singular duties. As also a word to householders stirring them up to the good old way of serving God in and with their families, from Joshua's resolution, Josh. 24. 15. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Set forth especially for the use and benefit of the inhabitants of St. Sepulchres Parish, London by Tho. Gouge, late pastor thereof.A word to sinners, and a word to saints The former tending to the awakening the consciences of secure sinners, unto a lively sense and apprehension of the dreadfull condition they are in, so long as they live in their natural and unregenerate estate.

1In the old Testament that word which properly signifieth the grave, is oft translated hell, and by way of resemblance Tophet is taken for hell, because in the place called Tophet, great fires were made, wherein they Sacrificed their Children. In the New Testament there are two words ordinarily used to express hell. One implieth a place of darkness. The other translated from the name of the place where the forementioned Tophet was, called Gehinnom, the valley of Hinnom, whence hell is called Gehenna.
