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

The Law of God must be kept tenderly, ⟨p. 275⟩as the very apple of our eyes, Prov. 7.2. The smallest dust will offend the eye, and the smallest Omission will offend the Law. If thy Conscience be dispensatory, it is unholy. Friend, thou hast largely heard how far short a Negative Religion will bring thee of Heaven, and canst thou content thy self a moment therewith? Nay, thou hast heard that for all that thou shalt be sent to Hell, and wilt thou rest one day or night therein? O Friend, be wise in time, and mind positive godliness, whilst thou hast opportunity.

In these days of the Gospel, God is quick and speedy, sharp and severe with men that are barren and unfruitful. Behold now, saith the Baptist, the Axe is laid to the root of the Tree. Behold, Consider, now at this time, when the Redeemer is coming, whose way I am preparing; Now the Axe is laid to the root of the Tree, Matth. 3.10. He is now laying aside his Basket, and taking up the Axe; yea, he lays his Axe at the root of the Tree, as one taking aim where to strike, and how to fell the Tree with the greatest advantage; therefore it concerns ⟨p. 276⟩thee to be fruitful. Again, the Apostle tells us, That former times of gross darkness were over-looked by God, but now saith he, Now his Son is come into the World, and he reveals his Mercy and our Duty so fully and clearly; Now he commands men every where to repent, Act. 17.29, 30. Now he exhorts fruits meet for Repentance, or he will not wink at your Disobedience, but judge you to Hell flames. And believe it, the Valley of Vision will prove the heaviest burden, and the highest means will cast thy Soul into the lowest misery. Opportunities of doing good to our own and others Souls, are choice Mercies. They are Talents that must one day be reckoned for: Therefore saith the blessed Redeemer in the justification of Mary about the Ointment; Me ye have not always; the poor ye have always, and may do them good when ye will; but me ye have not always. Mary did well to improve the season she had in her hand, as knowing if once lost, it was lost for ever.
