The sinners last sentence to eternal punishment, for sins of omission

Good Reader,

Being requested to recommend this Treatise to thy acceptance, I readily complied with the motion, induced thereunto partly by my respect to the Author Mr. Swinnock, a Name well known to most serious Christians, by his former savoury and useful Works, published for the good of the Church, before one of which I have expressed my just esteem of his Gifts and Graces in an Epistle prefixed, and therefore commendation is not my business now (it needeth not), but attestation; and to assure thee, that this piece is his, delivered by his own hands, to his Son, a little before his, to him blessed, but (alas) to us untimely death, ^*and accordingly thou ⟨image 5⟩wilt find the one spirit of the Author in it, and the same holy, lively way of discoursing, which is so remarkable in his other Writings, partly with respect to the matter, which is about the eternal recompenses, as they are represented by our Lord in a Scheme or Draught of the last Judgment. We are hedged within the compass of our Duty both on the right hand, and on the left; on the right hand, with the hopes of a most blessed everlasting Estate; on the left, with the fears of endless and never-ceasing Torments: Reflections on the former are comfortable; what is sweeter than to live in the expectation and fore-sight of endless Glory? But the consideration of the latter is also profitable. We need many Sermons about Hell, to keep us out of Hell; therefore in this Treatise ⟨image 5⟩the worthy Author insisteth on the dreadful Doom and Sentence that shall pass on the Wicked at the last day.
