Christ's certain and sudden appearance to judgment

4. If you repent of sin now, you may get strength against sin; you shall be delivered from the reigning power of sin presently, and you shall be freed from the rage and tyranny of sin by degrees, and at the last you shall obtain a perfect freedom from the being of sin, and be wholly delivered from the bondage of corruption. But if you do not repent until hereafter, you will for ever abide under the power of sin, you will not only be tormented in Hell, but also be for ever sinning in Hell.

4. If you repent of sin now, you may get strength against sin; you shall be delivered from the reigning power of sin presently, and you shall be freed from the rage and tyranny of sin by degrees, and at the last you shall obtain a perfect freedome from the being of sin, and be wholly delivered from the bondage of corruption. But if you do not repent until hereafter, you will for ever abide under the power of sin, you will not only be tormented in Hell, but also be for ever sinning in Hell.

5. If you repent of sin now, you will escape the punishment of sin: I do not speak of some temporal calamities, which God may exercise his people withal in this World; but you shall assuredly be kept from the eternal punishment of Hell, which shall be inflicted upon the ungodly World; but if you do not repent of sin until hereafter, your punishment will be unavoidable, no cries nor tears will then save you from the torments of Hell, ⟨p. 258⟩which you will be condemned unto; now you are condemned for sin, whilst unbelievers, but in this World the sentence is reversible, you may fly from the Bar of justice, to the Throne of Grace, and if with repentance and faith you apply your selves unto Jesus Christ, he will deliver you from the wrath to come, and free you from condemnation; but hereafter, when the Lord Jesus Christ shall appear unto Judgment, and summon you, and examine you, and find you guilty, and pass sentence upon you, to depart into everlasting Fire; this sentence will be irreversible, and your repentance will be too late to procure freedom from, or the least mitigation of your punishment.
