And he threatens damnation if thou wilt not, the wrath of God hangs on thee if thou do not come in.
I but I am a sinner.
But where sin hath abounded, Grace shall more abound. So if a man stand out of Christ, and come not in to him; there are many encouragements for him to come, and terrible denunciations of wrath if he come not, the wrath of God hangs over his head; for if he be not in Christ, he sinks into hell when this short life is ended.

So there is this to encourage a man, there is Gods command, and his sweet invitation, Come unto me. And add to that his beseeching, We are Ambassadors in Christs Name, to beseech you to be reconciled to God, to come to Christ, to come out of the state of nature, and out of the curse of God that you are under, to come out of the uncertain condition that the world affords: we beseech you to be reconciled to God, to cast away your weapons whereby you are enemies to God: he seeks to you for your love. And if you have nothing, come and buy without money, have you a will to come? If you be besotted, and will continue in your estate, then be damned, and rot in your estate: but if you will, come and drink of the waters of life freely.
