Fire and brimstone from heaven, from earth, in hell, or, Three discourses I. Concerning…

I beseech you all with the greatest seriousness to examine your selves, whether you be in a state of ⟨p. 111⟩Nature, or in a state of Grace? you have been all born once, have you been born again? you have been born of the Flesh, have you been born of the Spirit? you have born the Image of the Earthly Adam, do you bear the Image of the Heavenly Adam? you are partakers of the Humane Nature, are you partakers of the Divine Nature? have you new and clean hearts? are they changed? do you lead new and Holy lives? are they reformed? I beseech you examine which of the two ways you are walking in; is it the broad way of Sin and wickedness? or is it the narrow way of Faith and Holiness? these are questions of great moment to be resolved in, your everlasting weal or woe, your Salvation or Damnation doth depend upon them; if you be brought into a state of Grace, and are got in through the strait Gate, into the narrow way, you are made Men and Women, happy you that ever you were born, you not shall perish with the wicked, but most assuredly attain eternal Life and glory: but if you be in a state of Nature, if you be in the broad way, and continue therein to the end of your lives, you are undone Men & Women, woe be to you that ever you were born, Heaven will be shut upon you, and Hell will be opened unto you, where you shall be unconceivably and eternally tormented in the flames of that unquenchable fire.
