Ezek. 33. 11.

In this small Treatise, I have set before you Life and Death, Heaven and Hell, Happiness and Misery. Know assuredly, that as you choose now, so shall you speed hereafter. Oh then for the Lord Christ's sake, and for the sake of your poor Souls, choose that good part which shall never be taken from you: walk in the path which leadeth to life, and happiness, that you may not perish, and be tormented with the Devils in hell fire to all Eternity.
