Ps. 50.21. When the Lord shall say to thee as unto Dives, Remember in thy life time thou hadst thy good things; remember such a time, such a place, such a sin; which then you would not see. But now thou shalt see what it is to strike an infinite God. Remember thou wast forewarned of wrath to come, but thou wouldest not believe thy self accursed, that ⟨p. 38⟩so thou mightest have felt thy need of him that was made a curse to bless thee; and therefore feel it now: oh you will wish then that you had known this evil in that your day. What dost thou talk of grace? thou thinkest thou hast grace, when as thou hast not the first beginning, nay not the most remote preparation for it in this work of conviction; what should we do for such as these, but with Jeremiah Jer. 13.17. if you will not hear, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride?
