Be persuaded that you are undone irrecoverably, unless the Lord Jesus Christ do help you, that you are lost for ever unless the Lord Jesus Christ do save you, that you cannot escape the dreadful Vengeance of God, but must be tormented most horri•ly and everlastingly, amongst the Devils and the damned in Hell, unless the Lord Jesus Christ do deliver you from the Wrath which is to come. The sight and sense of sin, your miserable condition thereby, and of your indispensable need of Christ, will make way for your Love of him. If any of you were in debt many thousand pounds unto a severe Creditor, and had not one penny to discharge it, and you were threatened by him to be thrown into Prison, where you must lie and •ot and starve and die, without hopes of relief or release, ⟨p. 119⟩except you could make payment of the debt: And if you should hear of such a Rich man that were willing and did proffer to be your Surety, and to pay all for you; surely you would have an endeared Love to such a friend and Benefactor: Your sins are Debts beyond the vastest sum of Money that ever was owed or paid, and you are not able to pay one farthing, to give the least satisfaction unto God, unto whom you are indebted; and God is severe, and strictly just, and without full satisfaction to his Justice, he will throw you into a worse Prison than the most nasty dolesome Prison on Earth, I mean into the Prison of Hell, where you must lie without the least relief, or any hopes of release: The Lord Jesus Christ proffers to be your Surety, to pay off all for you, and to give you a full discharge; were you sensible what a Debt Sin is, and what a Prison Hell is, surely it would work your hearts unto an endeared Love of such a Friend and Surety, who alone can keep you out of this dolesome dreadful Prison, into which without him you will certainly and may suddenly be thrown. If any of you were sick of a Death-threatening distemper, and you had made use of many Physicians, but none could do you good; ⟨p. 120⟩and if you should hear of one Physician who could assuredly and would readily and freely cure your Disease, and save your Life; surely you would thankfully make use of this Physician, and his kindness would exceedingly engage your Love: Sin is the Souls sickness, you are sick unto death, Sin when it is finished will bring forth Death, not only Temporal but Eternal;
