A fourth volume containing one hundred and fifty sermons on several texts of Scripture…

I punished them oft in every Synagogue, and compelled them to blaspheme, and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted them even unto strange Cities. Look upon him converted, and see, is he not as earnest and mad for Christ as ever he was against him? 2 Cor. 5.13. For whether we be besides our selves, it is for God. Do but look back and see what a Drudge you have been to Sin? with what Zeal and Self-denial you hazarded your Souls? O your pace was swift and furious, like Jehu's March, and will you be cold and slow in the Work of God? Nay, it may be this is your case to this very day, you are very busy and painful to undo your Souls; O this active Industry that is misplaced, and misemployed, if the Object were but changed, would do well for Heaven! Who would pay as dear for Hell as for Heaven? Who would pay as dear for Glass as for Jewels? What a stir is there to serve a Lust? half of this, through the Blessing of God, might have conduced to save a Soul.
