1. If you have no title to it, your condition is very fearful. That Si• and Uncleanness under the efficacy whereof every unregenerate man abides, is certainly destructive to him: either it▪ must be taken away, or it will work your eternal ruin. This is implied, when God invites them to Repentance under that encouragement, Ezek. 18. 30. So iniquity shall not be your ruin. If this fountain had not been prepared and opened, we had all perished without hope: and though there is a good hope set before all such as are pointed to it, and bidden to make use of it, yet if you do not comply with this offer, and receive Christ according to the tenor of it, you will miss of the benefit, and be undone for all. Christ expressly told them in▪ Joh. 8. 24. If ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. And I am sure, that man who dies in •is sins is undone to all Eternity.
