And now Sinners what will you do? will you dare to go on in that broad way of Sin, which ere long will open under you, and let you down into the horrible gulp of unquenchable burnings? can you be contented with a portion in this Life, and to receive all your good things here, and that Fire and Brimstone, and everlasting burnings shall be the portion of your Cup hereafter? will any pleasure of the Flesh and Sin for a season countervail that everlasting pain and misery, which will be the bitter fruit and consequent of them? Let me therefore exhort you without any delay to come out of the broad way of Sin, It is the way of Hell, and will you proceed any further in it? You that are profane and unclean, you that are Swearers, Sabbath-breaker, Scoffers of Religion, Persecutors of Gods people, Drunkards, Covetous persons, yea all you that are Hypocrites, that are impenitent and unbelieving persons, give me leave to stop you in your course, or rather hearken unto the voice of God in his Word, who calleth you to turn from your evil ways, that iniquity may not be your ruin. Come out of the broad way, and get into the narrow way. It hath a strait Gate, namely the Gate of Regeneration, this you most pass through; you must become new Creatures, get new hearts, and lead new lives, you must walk in the narrow way of mortification, self denial, new obedience, otherwise ⟨p. 139⟩you will certainly be numbered amongst the damned, who will be everlastingly burned in the Fire of Hell; the passage is difficult, and the way narrow, but both are necessary; it is the passage from Death to Life, and the way from Hell to Heaven: Nothing in the World is so absolutely necessary, as that which is necessary unto Salvation; better the belly be without food, than the heart be without grace; better the back be without raiment, than the Soul be without Righteousness; better be starved, than damned; better be hanged than burned; better dye the most painful temporal death, than endure the pains of eternal death. What you should do that you may be saved from the everlasting burnings of Hell. I refer you for direction in my Book of Words, whereby you may be saved; because I have not room for large direction here. [But •ch of you which read these Lines, who have passed through the strait Gate of Regeneration, and are got into the narrow way; you are safe, you are in the way to Heaven.
