Godly. Sir, I perceive your condition is miserable, for you seem to be hardened, and whilst you have had gracious means afforded you to bring you to Repentance, you are grown worse and worse; however, let me tell you, if you die before you have embraced and received me into your House, you will perish in your sins, and Hell will be your Portion for ever; those who reject me, reject God and Jesus Christ also, and to tell you the truth, all this time that I have been at your door, the Lord Jesus hath stood waiting at your door with me likewise.

I could find in in my heart to be revenged on you, and set all the Rabble of the Town upon you, Sirrah, I have considered of the business, and have had advice what to do from two able Counsellors, Dr. Self-love, and Sir Worldly Wiseman.
Godly. Sir, St. Paul did not take advice of those two shallow, depraved, degraded, disherited Counsellors, he consulted not with flesh and blood.
