The young man's guide through the wilderness of this world to the heavenly Canaan…

6. Continuance in sin, without sincere repentance, will make thy condemnation more intolerable. By delaying to turn from thy sins unto God, as thou dost prepare more matter for thy grief and sorrow, so thou dost treasure up more fuel for thine everlasting burning; which the Apostle plainly expresseth, Rom. 2. 5. But thou, saith he, after thy hardness and impenitent heart, treasurest up unto thy self wrath against the day of wrath, and Revelation of the righteous Judgment of God, who will render to every man according to his deeds, whether they have been good or bad. So that continuance in sinning, without true and unfeigned repentance, must needs occasion an heavier weight of vengeance at the last: For he that adds to his sins, doth certainly add to his own punishment, treasuring up wrath against the day of wrath, and gathering, as it were, more wood to increase those flames which shall burn to all Eternity.
