It is a dangerous thing to live in the times of declining Churches, when they are hastning unto their fatal Period in Judgements; such as will inevitably befall them all and every one.
And it is so, for these three Reasons:

If any think they are free from Danger, because as yet they feel no Evil, whilst the Lusts of Men professing Christian Religion, visibly and openly ⟨p. 8⟩abound and rage in the World, they will be mistaken.
