2. Tremble you proud and vain-glorious Persons: Pride, cries poor Mr. Child, hath undone me; The Proud and all that do wickedly 1shall be as stubble, and the day that comes shall burn them up. Will you glory in your Riches, Honours, Gifts, Knowledge, or any thing you have? will you not be reclaimed to throw off your God provoking Fashions, whatsoever comes of it, but plead to uphold your Lusts and Vanity, tho' the Name of God be dishonoured, and Religion brought into Contempt, and the Godly grieved.

3. Tremble you vain young Men and Women, who forget your Creator in the days of your Youth, that secretly resolve your own Hearts shall choose your ways; who will seed your carnal Appetites and wanton Desires, and will run on in wicked Courses, let Ministers say what they will, Godly Parents say what they will, yet you will swear, lye, be drunk, commit Uncleanness. O know, as you feed your Lusts here, and that burns in you, so shall Hell feed on you, and that fire like Chaff burn you up hereafter: Will a few merry Hours with your filthy Companions make a compensation for the loss of your precious and immortal Souls? Are you willing to suffer the Wrath of God for ever, rather than to forgo your vain and wicked Courses?
