A Divine Cordial

2. Prayer works for their hurt, Pro. 8.15. The Sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord. A wicked man is in a great strait; if he prays not, he sins, if he prays, he sins, Psal. 109.7.

Profane persons feast with their sins, yet will come to feast at the Lords Table: This is to provoke God: To a sinner there is death in the Cup, he eats and drinks his own damnation,
