Quest. Who are they that go about desperately to murder their own Souls?
Resp. 1. Such wilfully go about to murder their Souls, who have no Sense of God, or the other World. They are past feeling, Eph. 4.19. Tell them of God's Holiness and Justice, they are not at all affected. Zech. 7.12. They made their Hearts like an Adamant. The Adamant, saith Pliny, is insuperable, the Hammer cannot conquer it: Sinners have Adamantine Hearts. The Altar of Stone, when the Prophet spake to it, rent asunder, 1 Kings 13.2. But Sinners Hearts are so hardened in Sin, that nothing will work upon them, neither Ordinances nor Judgments; they do not believe a Deity, they laugh at Hell: These go about to murder their Souls, they are throwing themselves as fast as they can into Hell.
