OUR general Position being proved and explained, it ought to be improved and fitly applied to the Inhabitants of this World, and more especially unto the Men and Women of this Generation, whether they be unconverted Sinners, or sanctified Believers. The unconverted Sinners of this World, and of this Generation, are either Sinners in Zion, Isa. 33.14. that is to say, sinful Professors, who seem to be Religious (whose Religion will prove in vain, Jam. 1.26.) and who have a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof, 2 Tim. 3.1-5. Those are foolish Virgins, that having gotten their Lamps lighted, wait (a while) for the Coming of the Bridegroom; but while the Bridegroom tarries, they slumber and sleep till their Lamp-light go out, Matth. 25.1-13.
