God's terrible voice in the city

You are under the power of Tyrannical lusts, which are far worse enemies; you are under the reigning power of sin, which hath brought the Plague into the City; and whereby some of you have been deprived of these relations; and you know not how soon sin may bring death upon your selves, not only the first, but the second death; not only temporal, but eternal death; and deprive you not only of life, but happiness, and all hopes of the least share in it for ever: And yet can you sleep securely with sin in your hearts? with such an enemy, with such a viper in your bosoms?

When the Fire was in London I believe few of you could take much sleep for divers nights together; when the Fire was burning in your streets, and burning down your houses, you could not sleep in your houses least the Fire should have burned your persons too: And, when the Fire of lust is within you, and burning within you; when the fire of Gods anger is kindled above you, and burning over you; and the fire of hell so dreadful and unextinguishable is burning beneath you; and you are hanging over the burning lake by a twine thread, which ere long will untwine of it self; and may ere you are aware, and suddenly be cut or snapped asunder, and then you must drop into the midst of flames; can you sleep under the guilt and power of sin, when you are in such danger?
