Is not here encouragement, if thou be not more wedded to thy sinful course, then to the good of thy soul? If thou wilt still live in thy sins, and wilt not trust in God, then thou shalt be damned, there is no help for thee if thou believe not, the wrath of God hangs over thy head. Thou art condemned already by nature: if thou believe not, thou needest no further condemnation, but only the execution of Gods justice.

Naturally thou art born the Child of wrath, and God threateneth thee to stir thee up, and to make thee come in: he useth sweet allurements, (besides the commands and threatenings) Come unto me all ye that are weary and heavy laden, and I will ease you. And, Why will ye perish, O house of Israel? And, O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how oft, &c? God complains of thee, he allures thee, he sends his Ambassadors. We are Ministers in Christs Name to beseech you to be reconciled: to come in to cast down your weapons, your sins, to believe in God, and trust in his mercy, and to hope for all good from him. What should keep thee off, he is willing to have thee believe? Oh, if I were elected, &c.1
