A sermon, occasioned

But I proceed to the Second Exhortation. If Murder be such a Crime as has bin declared, then

Let whoever has been guilty of this Sin be humbled for it, and repent of it. As for Interpretative Murder, many are guilty of that. O how many have by Debauchery & Intemperance, shortened the lives of themselves or others! let such repent, and turn from their sins unto God. But I hope there is none in this vast Assembly, that has bin guilty of that Murder which is by the Law of God and of the Land a Capital Crime, excepting one man, and one such person there is here present, unto whom I shall now particularly apply my self. Do you then hear, that your soul may live. This is the Last Sermon that ever you shall hear. Time was when you might have heard Sermons but would not, and now you shall not hear them, tho' you would. For as God said to him, This night thy soul shall be required of thee; so I say to you in His Name, This night thy soul shall be taken from thee: This night your soul shall be in Heaven or Hell for ever. You are appointed to dye this day, and after death cometh the Judgment. As soon as your Body is dead, your immortal soul must appear before the great GOD and Judg of all, and a Sentence of everlasting Life, or Everlasting Death shall be passed upon you. Are you willing when those Chains, which are about you, shall be taken off, that your immortal soul should be hanged in everlasting Chains? Are you willing that when your Body is removed from the Prison, your Soul ⟨p. 30⟩should go to the Spirits that are in prison? You have complained that you have bin in a Dungeon, and had little light there; but are you willing to go where you shall never see light? Are you willing that when your Body is delivered from this Dungeon, your Soul should go into that Dungeon, where is Blackness of darkness for ever? If not I charge you in the Name of God to hear and obey his Word; yea, that Word which you have many a time despised. I have spoken so often to you in private, since your being Apprehended, that I shall not need to say much now, only a few words.
