LASTLY, Consider the horrible ingratitude there is in a neglect or refusal to come in to Christ upon his Invitation, with the doleful Eternal Ruin that will ensue thereon: How shall we escape if we neglect so great Salvation? Impenitent Unbelievers under the preaching of the Gospel, are the vilest and most ungrateful of all Gods Creation. The Devils themselves, as wicked as they are, are not guilty of this Sin, for Christ is never tendered unto them, they never had an offer of Salvation on Faith and Repentance; this is their peculiar Sin, and will be the peculiar Aggravation of their misery unto Eternity.

Men therefore must sin in some instance above the Devil, or God would not give them their Eternal Portion with the Devil and his Angels: this is Unbelief.
