Can Men be regardless of the Word, or drowsy when the weighty matters of Eternity are set before them? We Preach of Faith, and Holiness of Life, and the Day of Judgment, and the Eternal Recompenses; here is Life and Death set before you; and doth not all this call for serious Attention? If a Letter were read to one of special business, wherein his Life and Estate were concerned, would not he be very serious in listening to that Letter?
