A Seventh means is to remember the fearful threatenings, Joh, 3. 18. He that believeth not is condemned, 1because he hath not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God, God sees all is little enough we have such carnal hearts, consider that well and it will awaken thee out of thy security and make thee see thou canst not tell what to do if thou dost not get this faith, which except thou dost seek to God for and get, even this that here hath been said shall stand up in Judgement against thee another day. Now to encourage thee hereunto know this, that God hath promised that though thou canst not do it, yet if thou seek to him he will help thee. Go to God therefore upon his promise, if thou wouldest not have thy portion with the condemned Devils. He that will not believe hath nothing to uphold him against the guilt of conscience, then the which there needs no more. He that hath the wrath of an infinite God to wrestle withal cannot but be condemned; The care of this therefore ought to be above all other care for wife, children or any thing else in the world whatsoever.
